Introduction to Green Center Acres

Green Center Acres is “Economics 101”---Back to the Basics---JOBS

Green Center Acres literally addresses a huge percentage of our day to day challengeswhile not only developing a sustainable community but at the same time implementingoutreach programs while stimulating economic growth in a direct way. We can find a newpath to sustainable growth, the growth of new Green Economy and of sustainablelifestyles, manufacturing, and economic prosperity. We start with the premise that weneed to ensure both adequate environmental protection and a strong economy.

We estimate that there will be a need to employ hundreds of people just to maintain these locationswith all the elements mentioned. This number is besides the need of educators, Agri-tourismsupport, distribution, transportation, and the ripple effect to third parties. Work offerings will begeared first to “People of Need”, which will include but will not be limited to Senior Citizens,Veterans, the Disabled, and the Homeless.

Green Center Acres “Creates Revenue Centers” from Basic Human Needs

Education, health care, and equal opportunity are essential to a productive workforce; asare safe products and working conditions. Efficient utilization of land, water, energy, andother natural resources makes business more productive. Ultimately, a healthy societycreates expanding demand for business, as more human needs are met and aspirationsgrow. A strong commitment must be part of a sustainable growth strategy for businessesto be successful, for people and future generations to prosper, and for natural resourcesto be replenished.

Green Center Acres “Mission Statement”

Our mission is threefold:

1. To help preserve and support long and proud farming heritage and traditions whiledemonstrating successful alternative farm management strategies and 21stcentury business models that integrate a portfolio of traditional farming practices,green technology, recreational enterprises, programs targeting the youth andelderly, and a host of other innovative business activities which will assist in helpingrevitalize local business

2. To restore farms to a national prominence and as a model for how business, civic,education, and government synergy can make profound differences in the lives ofordinary citizens

3. Job Creation - Work offerings will be geared first to “People of Need”, which willinclude but will not be limited to Senior Citizens, Veterans, the Disabled, and theHomeless.

We have put together a multi-disciplinary project team with vast experience in the areasthat are aligned with our mission, vision, and values.

Green Center Acres seeks a “Second Look”

Green Center Acres seeks a second bottom line look to measure its performance in terms ofpositive social impact. We are incorporating a "cause marketing" strategy as a means ofdifferentiating ourselves from the competition. Social media is allowing "company helping acause" promotions to expand rapidly as people who support the cause easily "share" theinformation with their friends who care about making the world a better place.

Since the majority of the production will be soil-free and pesticide free we would be able to supplythe Kosher, Asian, Gourmet, Organic and mainstream communities.

We already have the support from numerous Colleges and Universities to help in theimplementation of many educational and agricultural programs.

Strong Leadership, Core Team & Extended Team

Because the program is set up over a long period we must be viewed as excellent long termpartners. We are seasoned professionals and have the credentials to back it up. Our trackrecord and experience are important aspects to a successful final outcome.

Project Description

Green Center Acres will conduct itself in structure as a combination of a Campus and a WorkingFarm. Individual businesses will be created (both non-for profit and for profit). All businesses mustcompliment the overall theme and mission of the Center.

The Center will incorporate four distinct yet inter-related strategic business segments under asingle umbrella. These include agriculture, education, renewable energy and tourism. A commonhallmark for each individual business unit is its state of the arts facility, which incorporates twenty-first century technology and old-world charm, elegance, and attention to service to meet thedemanding, and discriminating imperatives. The Center is destined to be the “Model” for what thefuture will be.

These entities will include but are not limited to Hydroponics, Aquaponics, and Fish Farming.Requirements for all of these entities would be;

must donate a percentage of all food production to community food programs must have the facilities open for both educational programs and agro-tourism in general must employ and train the in-need population whenever possible (people with physical

and mental disabilities, veterans, homeless, unemployed etc.)

Living Green Exhibits ...learn, train, educate

The Center will have working Energy Exhibits to demonstrate all aspects of Green Living. Allfacilities and structures will have as many renewable energy and energy savings features aspossible. These facilities will be open for educational programs. The Center will also approachcorporate sponsors to help finance and install the latest technology. In exchange the Center willalso allow the corporations to promote career opportunities and training using these facilities.

Ranch Outreach Programs

Adolescent Ranch Programs

Adolescent and Youth Programs specialize in helping troubled and defiant teens toovercome their behavioral and emotional problems. These programs help young people toidentify and work through internal conflicts and emotional obstacles that have kept themfrom responding to parental efforts, schools, and treatment. We will accept boys and girlsages 14 to 17 and offers a 28-day minimum program. These are children who are inherentlygood and have the ability to be successful, but because of unhealthy misperceptions aboutthemselves, they have limited access to their own abilities and strengths.

EAGALA Model Equine Assisted Psychotherapy (EAP) program. EAGALA (EquineAssisted Growth and Learning Assoc.) is present in all 50 states and over 40countries worldwide, it is an un-mounted modality that utilizes horses to help peopleovercome emotional, behavioral and mental health issues, paying tribute to Churchillwhen he said - "there is something about the outside of a horse that is extremelyvaluable for the inside of a man".

EAP and EAL services with a profit in mind. Individuals, Couples, Families andGroups for therapy. Working also in the EAL (Life skills learning) model to helporganizations and corporate companies learn better leadership and team buildingskills.

Animal Rescue & Adoption Programs

Both Thoroughbreds and Standardbreds can be successful show or pleasuremounts beyond the track. With proper training there are no limits to what thesehorses can do. Many have excelled in hunter/jumpers, dressage, eventing,competitive trail riding, fox-hunting, 4H, barrel racing, carriage driving,pleasure riding, and as broodmares. These highly athletic and intelligenthorses have a lot to offer individuals that take the time to teach them

Farm Outreach Programs

Urban agriculture programs hold immense potential to be a vital part ofa growing movement to bring fresh, nutritious, local food to urbanresidents. With our farm project, we hope to expand on its mission offeeding the hungry.

Music, Photography & Arts Centers

The Arts Center is committed to changing lives through artand serving the community. While there will be a variety ofpublic programs that take place onsite, the Ranch makes aneffort to extend its reach beyond the borders campuses.The purpose of the Ranch outreach program is to serve thelocal geographic community of artists and non-artiststhrough accessible, sustained programming and area

partnerships structured to meet the needs using the visual arts.

Living Green Exhibits ...learn, train, educate

Farming – State of the ArtHydroponics

With hydroponic technology and a controlled environmentgreenhouse, you have the ability to grow premium qualityproduce using a minimum of space, water and fertilizer.Hydroponics is an intensive form of agriculture that can fulfillthe consumers demand for premium produce and provide thegrower with a profitable business. Hydroponics literally means“water working” but, in practical use, it means growing plantsin a nutrient solution without soil. The most popular hydroponic

crop in the US is tomatoes, with second fancy lettuce and leaf crops, third cucumbers and fourthherbs, peppers and flowers.

Commercially, Hydroponics, Aquaculture andAquaponics can all be used to produce large quantitiesof food in an environmentally friendly way.

Aquaculture (fish farming), is a great way to help supplythe growing demand for fresh fish without depletingnatural resources. There are many types of aquacultureand many different species cultured.

Aeroponics

Aeroponics is the method of growing where the plant roots are constantly misted with a nutrientsolution.

Aquaponics

In hydroponics, you mix a specific nutrient formula in solution which is fed to the plants. InAquaponics, you combine aquaculture (fish farming) with hydroponic production. The nutrient-richwaste water from the fish tanks is pumped through plant grow beds.

Fish Farming

AQUACULTURE (farming of fish under controlled conditions) is a growth industry striving tosatisfy a growing market for food fish. It currently is one of the fastest growing sectors ofagriculture in the United States. Growing public demand for a healthy tasty and affordable food isstimulating the "boom" in this industry. The decline in wild fish populations as a result ofoverharvest and water pollution has promoted the culture of farm-fresh that are grown incontaminant-free waters in indoor tank systems.

Mushroom Farming

The market for mushrooms continues to grow due to interest intheir culinary, nutritional, and health benefits. They also showpotential for use in waste management.

ChiNini’s Nature’s Wonderland – The World of Insects

Insect reproduction is necessary for insectariums, pet stores, fishing businesses, and the mainresearch facility and there is a high demand in Sault Ste. Marie because of the presence of aninternationally recognized federal facility and the lack of commercial insect production in NorthernOntario. It is expected that many schools would take advantage of bug tours, insect anatomy andreproduction. Support would be coming from organizations such as Destination North, Fluttergoand Great Lakes Forestry Centre.

The Great Creation Tour

Insect Farming

In summary the practice of raising insects for agricultural purposes. It can either be used to fightinvasive species, to create industrial products such as petroleum or to grow inexpensive andenvironmentally sustainable food for humans or animals.

Overview

Insects offer a highly economical, sustainable solution to existing and looming issues with theproduction and distribution of high quality protein to help meet growing demands as the worldpopulation grows and increases its protein consumption. Insects have a high nutritional value,probiotic potential, and affordable price. Insects such as crickets and worms have highconcentrations of amino acids, vitamin B12, riboflavin, vitamin A, etc. They are a good substitutefor protein. Insect farming is much cheaper than cattle farming and requires much less energy.Cattle feedlots require a huge amount of energy and money to raise and feed cattle, removewaste and to keep them healthy. Insects are grown in their naturally based places, in a normaland healthy ecosystem. Organic waste from plant harvest and processing feeds large populationsof worms. Worms turn the waste stream into high quality fertilizer that can nourish the nextgeneration of plants growing. Insects and other crops can support each other and provide asurplus of each other to farmers.

Benefits

Reduced feed

Typical cattle requires roughly 8 pounds of feed to produce a single pound of beef. Insects on theother hand require only 2 pounds of feed to produce 1 pound of meat, making them four times asefficient. Much of this efficiency comes about because bugs get their heat from the environmentinstead of having to create their own body heat like typical mammals.

Nutrient efficiency

Many bugs are more efficient in the amount of nutrients they contain compared to other unhealthysubstances and calories. Locusts for example contain between 8 and 20 milligrams of iron forevery 100 grams of locusts. Beef on the other hand contains roughly 6 milligrams of iron in thesame amount of meat. Crickets as well are very efficient when you compare nutrients. For every100 grams of substance crickets contain 12.9 grams of protein, 121 calories, and 5.5 grams offat. Beef contains more protein containing 23.5 grams in 100 grams of substance, but also hasroughly 3 times the calories, and four times the amount of fat as crickets do in 100 grams.


of 28

Greenhouse emissions

The raising of typical livestock causes almost 20% of all the greenhouse gases created.Alternative sources of protein in the average diet such as insects lowers the amount of livestockneeded and can help lower greenhouse gases created in the process.

Land usage

Many animal farms contain pastures to allow livestock to graze. According to onegreenplanet.orgraising animals for food uses up to 30% of the Earth’s land mass. On top of this almost 80% ofammonia that the U.S. produces comes from animal excrement. Using insects as part of the dietcould replace some of the required space currently used for livestock. And given the size ofinsects and how fast they reproduce much less land is required to produce meat.

Farming of popular insects

Crickets

Among the different types of crickets, the house cricket is the most common type to be used forhuman consumption. House crickets only live up to about eight weeks. Until they are twenty daysold they are fed high protein animal feed, most commonly chicken feed that contains either 14%or 20% of protein. Once they finally reach twenty days old they can be fed a mixture of the two. Afew days before harvesting the crickets at forty-five days old the crickets are fed variousvegetables such as pumpkins, cassava leaves, morning glory leaves, and more. This is done toimprove the taste of the insects and reduce the use of the expensive, high protein animal feed.

People have eaten insects in Africa, Asia, and Latin America for centuries. However, insectconsumption by humans is decreasing in many places. Thailand, on the other hand is increasingits insect consumption. There are more than 20,000 insect farming operations in Thailand alone.Most of them are household or small-scale businesses, though entomologists at Khon KaenUniversity began an insect farming project 15 years ago to help prevent the endangerment ofedible insect species. The business has turned into a multi-million dollar market providing foodfor millions of consumers as well as employment and pay for thousands of Thai people. Beingthat over 2 billion people worldwide consume insects today in around 112 nations in locatedprimarily in Africa, Latin America, Australia, Asia, and the Pacific, Thailand isn't the only countryin which bug farming occurs. Though locust farming in Laos is in decline, fly farming is becominga trend in South Africa. Europe is another region that has just begun to discover bug farming.However, very few countries have regulations on insect eating. For example, in Spain, if you haveinsects, you can consume them, but you can’t buy or sell them.

Methods

Breeding insects share similarities and differences with the breeding of larger animals. Due to thehigh amount of insect species, breeding technics are mostly insect-specific. Difficulties are alsospecific. This means that the solution for a breeding problem with meal worms for example willmost probably be ineffective for a similar problem with a cricket breeding. Furthermore, thetechnical requisites of the breeding have to be made compatible with the awaited economicalprofit. Insect breeding requires therefore two kinds of skills: 1. mastering rearing techniques 2.mastering analytical methods for choosing the rearing techniques which are best adapted to theeconomic conditions

Worm Farming

Earthworms are now recognized as highly effective natural agents for soil improvement and areespecially helpful in loosening and aerating the ground. The little creatures initially perforate thetop layers of earth and then gradually penetrate into the subsoil, where their burrows openpassages for plant root growth. The worms also eat soil and organic debris and the resultingdroppings or "castings" are a valuable fertilizer in finely granulated form.

Learn, Train and Education FacilityAgri-Tourism

Agri-tourism has become extremely popular throughout the United Statesin recent years and hydroponics, Aquaponics and controlled environmentagriculture are part of this growing trend. Visitors will see the latest inagricultural systems of today and what agriculture might look like in thefuture, both for earth as well as in outer space! An Agri-tourismgreenhouse can best be described as a state-of-the-art showcase ofmodern technology in agriculture as well as a tourist attraction / retailindoor gardening center. Visitors will learn about controlled environmentagriculture, hydroponics, organics and Aquaponics while touring the lush

greenhouses.
