MONTREAL, QC, May 05, 2015 /24-7PressRelease/ -- With drought, economic instability, erratic weather and interruptions in transportation a very real threat, it really doesn't take much to have the food supply disrupted. We're certainly not immune to these effects in the West, especially since we rely heavily on corporate farming and mega supermarkets. Add to this population growth and the ecological toll of conventional, large-scale food production, and we have a seriously unsustainable system in place -- one that could topple at any time. The drought in California, USA is a perfect example, where entire almond orchards and other crops have been laid to dust.
But it's not all doom and gloom. As the famous proverb says: "Necessity is the mother of invention." Taking this proverb and running with it, a team of innovators from Quebec, Canada (Francis Gendron, Christian Desilets and Curt Close) have developed and filmed an eco-friendly and exceptionally cost-effective solution to our food woes -- the greenhouse of the future.
Largely utilizing easy to find recycled materials, the team set out to build a greenhouse that would grow organic produce in any climate, while also providing a space for people to connect with nature and relax in warmth during the frigid winter months. Their main focus was to create a micro-climate for producing an abundance of food with minimal energy usage and low construction cost.
"The greenhouse of the future project is a breakthrough for the S.A.F.E (Sustainable Autonomy/Abundance for Everyone) movement because it synthesizes many of the best resilient and passive sustainable technologies. It allows anyone to understand and apply them in their own lives, but also encourages people to keep innovating so that together, we can create a climate for change and transform the garbage of the past in the beauty and abundance of the future!"
