A taste of the green hell to come:
from the company website:
valcent.net
'Developed over several years by Valcent's research and development partner, Pagic Inc., the system is designed to grow vegetables and other foods much more efficiently and with greater food value than in agricultural field conditions. The HDVG system demonstrates the following characteristics:
* Produces approximately 20 times the normal production volume for field crops
* Requires 5% of the normal water requirements for field crops
* Can be built on non arable lands and close to major city markets
* Can work in a variety of environments: urban, suburban, countryside, desert etc.
* Does not use herbicides or pesticides
* Will have very significant operating and capital cost savings over field agriculture
* Will drastically reduce transportation costs to market resulting in further savings, higher quality and fresher foods on delivery, and less transportation pollution
* Will be easily scalable from small to very large food production situations."

small scale, traditional private agriculture will eventually be banned in the name of the Green Religion as inefficient, diry, poisonous, waterhogging and therefore irresponsible.
Your garden will be banned and only a few megaproducers will be allowed to grow using this or similar technology if they have their way. |
