Peace Microfarms


Book Description

Peace microfarms use abundance methods that preserve precious finite resources to grow freedom foods. Freedom food give consumers free choice for healthier foods for people, producers and our planet. Peace microfarms liberate growers from dependence on increasingly expensive cropland, fresh water and other non-renewable resources. Peace microfarms avoid conflicts over diminishing natural resources by growing microcrops using abundance methods. Microcrops include the full spectrum of microorganisms such as algae, yeast, fungi, bacteria, archaea, plankton and many others. Microcrops deliver sustainable advantages over field crops. Peace microfarms produce 20 to 30 times more food per acre every year than modern agriculture. Microfarms scale to any size and may be sited practically anywhere, including cities. Growers recover low cost nutrients from sterilized waste streams and transform them into valuable freedom foods and other products. Growers use abundance methods to assure a sustainable food supply for many generations.

Grow Algae for Profit


Book Description

Algae is a miracle of Nature. Rich, in Amino acids, Proteins, Lipids, Carbohydrates, Anti-oxidants, phycobiliproteins, and other valuable products, algae is being tapped as the new feedstock across industries. This Book describes how to build your own Photobioreactor to grow pure algae species (taxa). Algae, are Earths "engine" to fuel the food web. As a "primary producer," responsible for nearly half the oxygen production on Earth, the power of algae is being commercialized to produce valuable organic products. Build your own, Algae Photobioreactor (PBR) grow kit, to Cultivate valuable algal strains, and tap into the rapidly growing Algae Industry. Grow algae reliability, and repeatably, with Photobioreactor (PBR) Algae Grow Kits for controlled photosynthesis. Grow up to Four different Algal taxa using these 4-vessel Algae grow kits rated at 80 Liter total capacity. Complete with optical, mechanical, electrical, pneumatic, and biological systems, photobioreactors give you complete control. Growing monocultures of algae, using photobioreactors, is useful for researchers, developers, companies, universities, and those who need to cultivate Algal monocultures with purity, and minimal cost of construction. Algae, produce valuable amino-acids, proteins, carbohydrates, and essential oils (lipids) consuming water-borne pollution for nutrients. Algae species, grown with your PBR algae grow kits, enable researchers to tap algae's enormous productivity, able to double in mass in 24 hours under exponential growth phase. Algal researchers, work to develop protocols for increased production. Growing algae converts water, in-organic compounds (CO2), and solar radiation into valuable organic molecules. This eBook is written as a resource for building your own photobioreactor, and growing valuable algal strains. This Book is written, as a resource for researchers, to construct an effective bioreactor, rated at 80 Liters, for growing algae monocultures. Isolated from contamination, these photobioreactors, offer the researcher total control of all inputs, and thermodynamic conditions, to grow a specific monoculture algal strain. Grow Algae for Profit, using photobioreactors, to produce useful quantities of pure species (taxa). Grow Algal Biomass, for your experiments, or for sale, with this easy-to-build Photobioreactor.

The Business of Sustainability


Book Description

This three-volume set is a landmark comprehensive overview of the business of sustainability, providing 56 separate chapters from leaders in business, non-profit organizations, and from within the academic and policy world. In today's business environment, "garbage" isn't simply worthless refuse to be disposed of anymore; it often represents a material with monetary value. The human population is using up about 30 percent more natural resources in one year than the earth can regenerate. Because businesses constitute half of the world's largest economies, there can be no sustainability without sustainable businesses. The Business of Sustainability: Trends, Policies, Practices, and Stories of Success is a foundation set that effectively captures and articulates the why, what, who, and how of sustainability and business. Volume I covers the scientific, economic, and social underpinnings of sustainability and identifies the challenges facing business leaders. Volume II explores the global network of designers, producers, suppliers, distributors, and consumers that must be addressed as a unit from a cradle-to-cradle, life-cycle perspective. Volume III presents examples of success across many industries, demonstrating that sustainability is indeed possible. Each volume analytically addresses the larger issues, such as the challenges of managing a business to the standards of sustainability, measuring progress or success, and creating—and maintaining—sustainable businesses. This monumental work provides a comprehensive treatment of sustainability in the world of businesses, exploring all of its dimensions: obstacles, metrics, opportunities, and pathways to success.
