TRANSCRIPT
THE GLOBAL FOOD DISTRIBUTION MODEL IS BROKEN. WE CAN FIX IT.
The Problem
The Four Main Components of
Food Security
Lack of Availability There should be a reliable and consistent source of quality food
Lack of Stability People should have the ability to access and utilize food that remains stable and sustained over time
Lack of Access People should have sufficient resources to produce and/or
purchase food
Lack of Utilization People should have the knowledge
and basic sanitary conditions to choose, prepare, and distribute
food in a way that results in good nutrition
The Solution
Addressing & Providing
Food Security
Availability Modular Farms literally grows food where the consumer is, making farm-to-fork a reality
Stability Modular Farms provide locally accessible and relevant, ready-to-consume food that is always grown sustainably, no matter the environmental or economical climate
Access Modular Farms provides farmers and
everyday people access to technology to grow their own food or buy
locally grown food year round
Utilization Modular Farms are food safe
certified, do not require a degree or extensive training to operate, and grow
safe, nutritious and traceable food
The Modular Farm
Setting New Standards
Climate Control / HVAC
- 40’ x 10’ x 10’ More space than a shipping container
- Truly Modular Interconnecting modules offer crop and revenue diversity
- Food Safe and CSA / EASA Certified - R22-R35 & Rugged Construction
Can be deployed anywhere
- True Controlled Environment Agriculture Equals higher yields & better plant health
- Closed-loop Air Recycling System Eliminates the need for ambient air and optimizes CO2 supplementation and commercial dehumidification
The Container
Lighting - 60, 8’ Intravision ‘Spectra Blade’ LEDs
Double-sided, slim profile with customizable spectrum
- Developed in partnership with the University of Guelph
The Modular Farm System
7 Complimentary and Connectable Farming Modules Each module serves a unique purpose in the diversity and scalability of a farm
01. Modular Farm The foundation unit, and the first Module a farmer will start with
02. Vestibule A clean room, office, extra storage, module connector, etc. Whatever its use, it’s a crucial addition to the Modular Farm
03. Macro Farm Wall-to-wall ZipGrow Towers, in the same footprint as the Modular Farm, means up to 50% more yields
04. Micro Grid Supplement your farm’s energy consumption on the grid, or run it off the grid entirely
05. Water Capture Store extra water, or collect ambient or rain water when required
06. Micro Farm A horizontal hydroponic system to start seeds and grow crops like microgreens and sprouts
07. Cold Storage When getting your harvest to market right away isn’t an option
