Food Tree

Food Tree is a portable, fully automated, freely supplied,  integrated food factory. Designed to have no dependency on land or power to grow the diversified crop.  All the required inputs come from the renewable resources of water, air, sunlight and wind. This technology reduces the pressure on finding and changing natural habitat land into farmland, and effective water management reduces the stress on water aquifers, dams, wells and monsoons and the pollution from packaging and transportation of food products. 

 

We optimise resource utilisation and vegetation production through the innovative integration of five commercially available mass-produced technologies:  

-  Long-range wireless communications, 

-  Solar and Wind Generator supplying renewable power

- a mass-produced computer with an AI learning program, 

-  mineral wool growth medium 

- ultrasonic & light parasitic defences to protect the vertical growing tower from insect and animal attack. 

 

Basing our design on bio-mimicry whilst including a robust, sophisticated automated sensor array like a forest has enhanced to value and productivity of the technology. The towers establish a communication network infrastructure connecting the vertical farms. Sharing environmental and production data enhances community income whilst warning of environmental or parasitic threats to the communities they serve.

 

Tools for Sustainable Earth will use all donations to build Food Tree prototypes. We will continue to validate our lab's proof of concept results in field conditions. Your contribution will bring this revolutionary technology closer to commercial reality - eradicating dehydration, malnutrition and all forms of poverty globally.
