Feeding the WorldBy both increasing oil prices (needed for production, storage and transport: our current agriculture system consumes heavily oil), increasing soil prices in city neighborhoods, and also by prices competence between food and bio-oil, food prices will rise substantial the next years.
Energy Price = Food Price will become worldwide the most used mathematical formula for the next years.
The world needs to slow down in energy use and stop living like there are never ending energy sources, unless they are found and that is not the case at this moment. Climate change discussions will be outdated by the energy price. The economical effect of the oil price will bring Al Gore and George Bush in the same room, working on the same case.
We living in a oil age. Rising oil prices will impact the price level of each facet (product or service) in our economies. Unless this will be compensated by more efficiency economical growth will become a facet of the past of many economies worldwide. If the main price component ask for more money, than there is less left for the other price components.
Soil Price = Food Price will become worldwide the second most used mathematical formula for the next years.
An other facet of agricultural production is the soil price. Soil prices in the neighborhood of our current cities are rising and rising and rising, by increasing people density. Soil prices in rural areas are rising in the same speed as oil prices are rising, just because the farmer can choose these days to produce food or produce bio-oil and the price of products (and so also soil) is made by it economical value.
In our opinion there is not such a thing as over-population in the world. Not in terms of food, not in terms of energy. Yes, if we don’t change our energy use, each new birth increases the energy problem and yes, if we continue to concentrate our population in cities, over-population will be there (locally). Over-population is a local (concentration instead of spreading) problem and over-population is a energy-policy related problem.
The earth is so wide, it can give a good life to 10 times the current population, if energy use will reduced dramatically and the production of it is made sustainable and if we prevent urbanization and stimulate sub-urbanization. The only government in the current world who really understand is the Chinese Federal Government. They really want to stop urbanization, not by repression, but by upgrading the quality of life in rural areas.
Grow/OS addresses both the Oil Price = Food Price and Soil Price = Food Price issue. By producing food by a low-energy and low-space demanding system.
Leftwing people and organizations will resist the strong technological/innovative operating Grow/OS based production of food, fruit, flowers and herbs, by it’s not complete natural. Our answer to them is: it’s to closed to natural we can get if we still want to eat in the future. If you proclamate a full natural lifestyle, be the front runner in new developments and leave the city and start a full natural life in a rural area of your choice in respect with the nature there. But the enormous gap between talking left and acting right is a not to sell proposition any more. Act what you preach or stop hypocrite preaching.
Let’s feed the world, by technology, as close to natural processes as we can. Let’s face it: food is life demand 2 (right after breading).
And as said: Grow/OS could also be used in commercial fish farms beneath agriculture greenhouses.
