SolaRoof

With multiple examples, in a variety of cultures and climates we prove the capacity of AgriPOD for viral beta phase replication worldwide, as a distributed solution that generates a resurgence of 21st Century Vertical Farmers in every community; leaving no family behind. This strategy for distributed enterprise opportunity will not exclude the creation of CityPOD mega-projects with SolaRoof projects for concentrated food+energy+water production in a transitional period during which modern urbanism can gradually reverse and populations can leave the unhealthy environment of the mega-city and re-inhabit the earth in new patterns of human settlement called Arcologies, EcoCities and EcoVillages.

Traditional food production methods are becoming more unreliable and this creates fluctuations in food costs and supply. Urban population in cities and towns will increase from 50% in 2011 to 70% in 2050. As a result, the world is not producing or at least supplying enough food. New ways to increase food supply or make more efficient use of existing resources need to be developed. The Urban Agriculture concept is very fashionable, but generally it is implemented seasonally..., or with existing greenhouses that do not maximize the financial returns, have no beneficial impact on the environment nor will such initiatives greatly reduce the net carbon footprint for food, due to high energy cost for "out of season" food. The land available to grow food in the developed countries is diminishing, so we need to expand where and how we grow. Using land or spaces previously considered unsuitable, such as rooftops and car parks etc. is becoming more common. However, in industrialized urban areas, soil contamination (brown fields), along with air and water pollution can be an issue, while in other areas infertile soil is increasing due to climatic factors and the loss and degradation of the fertility of soils, thus requiring more dependency on synthetic fertilizers and agriculture chemicals. Finally, there is increasing pressure to make the most of the limited fresh water supplies available, when urban and agriculture demand often are in conflict. PODpioneers business is about making a difference for our environment and quality of life. The slogan or pitch is: eat locally grown POD Fresh Food; support the community and the environment". SolaRoof by enabling year round growing, we can create steady employment and thus establish prosperity that is sustainable; a cooperative economy generating vast number of green social businesses and jobs.
