My friend Douglas Mallette was just recently let go from his job as he worked on the space shuttle program. He and his fellow scientists are always working on sustainable systems and new developments for the world. He is a big proponent for a global sustainable system. In fact, he mentioned that scientists work on this concept all the time because if we colonize another planet one day, we will need resources, not money, to exist. 

He is starting a new company using technology to grow organic foods. Here is a description and mission statement. I'm sharing this information to show everyone that people are working on these ideas and concepts all the time for the betterment of humanity and the planet. If you are on Facebook look up the name. 

Cybernated Farm Systems: 

Description: Cybernated Farm Systems, Inc., “CFS”, is a Socially Conscious company dedicated to the standards of CSR (Corporate Social Responsibility). Our mission is to eliminate the gap between global production and distribution of healthy organic foods to the people of the world, using advanced technologies and cybernated (automated) systems to accomplish the goal of creating decentralized (local) high yield, small footprint hydroponic/aquaponic farm buildings that are ecologically sound, environmentally conscious and robust in performance and sustainability. 

Mission: In the 21st century, it is unconscionable that any human being on the planet should go hungry, especially given our advanced technical capability to assist in producing food with minimal human labor input. One of the largest problems in the market, with respect to food, is the centralized nature of production and the costly expense of distribution, as evidenced by rising food prices that parallel rising gas prices. 

What CFS aims to accomplish is to use Systems Engineering and Integration practices (as used by NASA and other technologically sound entities) to develop fully automated hydroponic/aquaponic farm facilities that are powered by clean energy systems, such that the facility is self sufficient, grid independent, and requires minimal technical support or human intervention. 

In conjunction with global partners such as governments and humanitarian organizations, and with residential and commercial partnerships, our mission is nothing less than the complete elimination of hunger throughout the world, not by buying food for people, or even trying to rehabilitate their landscape for 17th century styled agriculture, but to empower them with localized direct food production facilities that address their survival needs immediately. 

Product: High Tech food production facilities dedicated to eliminating the gap between the production and distribution of food around the world.

Tony,

Sounds like an interesting concept, and a good fit for some real needs. After some interesting interviews on Dr.Oz last night about genetically modified crops, we should be doing more work with organics....
