Feed 7 billion on 155 mi. sq.

Feed 7 billion on 155 mi. sq.

Via Hydroponics and Aquaculture using 10 times less water
a man was able to grow 1 million pounds of food on 3 acres.

(visit the link for the full news article)

This equates to 155 miles squared providing 2 pounds
of food per day for 7 billion ppl.

This is about the size of West Virginia.

Artificial Scarcity is the only reason ppl are starving to death.

To me it is pretty obvious that we can feed the world.

Other issues such as energy are equally false.

We can grow oil via Vertical Hydroponics in the desert.

We see massive floods destroy entire cities and yet
the scarcity crowd gets on TV and tells how we are
running out of water and they want a new "water tax"
on all ponds and wells.

We are being inundated with a blizzard of lies.

Thank you for this topic. Truer words have not been spoken scarcity is as fictional as the belief in it is dangerous.

What amazes me is that people still go for the overpopulation okie doke. Its just another lie piled on an already huge elitist mountain.

Two pounds of food...? A small cabbage or two heads of lettuce... to feed each person for a year? Am I missing something?

There are more obese people than starving people in the world. We have enough resources to feed everyone. But it will never happen. Not because of some evil TPTB, but because

1. it is not profitable to feed the poor

2. all it would lead to is further procreation of those who "need to be fed" and cannot provide for themselves.

Population control of the poor is the only answer if we ever want to end starving and scarcity.

I remember growing up hear in the UK, where they used to talk about Butter, Wine, Apple mountains etc within the EEC as the EU was then known,

Then they started paying farmers not to grow ? the whole South East of england was arrable farm land and contributed more than the UK needed so have they all stopped! because corporate b=greed has set market forces and unfair cartels squeezing the farming into either bankruptsy or leave them with excess (wasted crops) to keep them inline!

If all these eugenists are so concerned as in Bill Gates, Ted Turner, Kissinger, Rothchilds etc, then why don't they start by taking their own lifes because as a minoriy few have such an impact on us now out of sheer greed and lust for dominance and power, they would have a greater impact if they went first because humanity would then become human again and we would all look after each other,

Nobody would go unclothed, nobody would go unfed and nobody would have to rely on these sponging insidious scum sucking every last drop off blood and energy from the populace,

So one way forward, have a go at growing you own veg, fruit etc! it would be fun and once you have the knack of doing correctly and success, you cut down on your supermarket bill, will have a better qaulity of food (no mind bending chemicals and the end result better health, more freedom and if we all tried then the supermarkets owned by the financial institutions backed by these speculator would suffer so bad they would have to lower prices and reduce scarcity,

Come folks, lets stop the tail wagging the dog and peacefully work for our freedom and cut this cancer out of our journey!

"BORN FREE" "TAXED to DEATH" lets be free :-)

We have to starve the poor to death by speculating the price of food through the roof.
This requires artificial shortages

How else can we steal all of the resources they live over?
It's only murder and it makes huge profits
whats the problem?

Sorry but....great video and all. Wonderful message and demonstration of what is POSSIBLE, on a very local scale.

But...your thread title? "Feed 7 billion on 155 mi. sq."???

A bit over the top, yes?

Notwithstanding, for the moment, the actual SIZE of only "155 mi. sq." (Think, in two-dimensional geometry, what that means, please. It could be described as a rectangular area encompassed by a line 10 miles on one side, by 15.5 miles on another -- just to give one some perpective.

To feed "7 billion" people??

Are ALL of those "7 billion" people standing right there, on the edge of this space, and able to receive this food??

Maybe as a pattern for a very, very large-scale project, all over the planet, then YES, it's a great concept idea...but the title is very misleading.

You are correct sir,
We could feed the world, logistics are the only real problem.
Most of the food would spoil before it could reach where it needed to be.
If there was a country that truly loved its people it would find a way around this problem.
As for energy there are better ways than growing oil, there is wind power and solar.
As more people realize this and get off of this ride that corporate interests are taking us on, we will be better.
But I fear Lindsey Lohan and Lady Caca are just more important than living a good life or just simply eating.

Forget to mention 2 lbs per day.

Completely missed that.

Well we can make these Hydroponic Aquaculture food producers
where the ppl are.

The ppl that did this did so 360 of 365 days in Wisconsin.

A fairly cold climate.

This method uses 10 times less water too than conventional farming.

Money is an artificial creation of man and you say fiat currency
backed by nothing is to determine who lives and dies.

Educating ppl solves the food issue.

There is no over population problem, its a total fiction of the
Eugenicist crowd.

We have a biosphere management problem.

We pollute the earth, poison the air and water, and live very inefficient.

If you want to be a Ted Turner or Rothschild fan boy go right ahead.

The game is being revealed and at some point your going to get
a Khmer Rouge reaction to the plan.

Good Luck with that.

That is 155 miles squared, or a little over 24,000 square miles.

About the size of West Virginia if you read the post.

As your one of my foes I am not surprised by a knee jerk
reaction thou.

So????

Still...EVEN IF you have (and it's not possible) ONE space the size of West Virgina producing all this "food"....think it through logically!!

HOW do 7 billion people gain access to it??

Honestly....it's great idea for future space exploration, or local food sources...but 7 billion?? The entire PLANET??

Get real.
