Benefits
A Revolutionary, Robust 'Local' Food Production System
Massive reduction in CO2 Emissions
Huge Reductions in Transportation Expenses / Fossil Fuel Costs
Low Cost 4 Season Local Growing possible in most populated areas of North America
- Simple, cost effective structure
- Little to No heating needed, even in far North
- Good thermal insulation performance
- Can provide all season plant production with little or no heat
- Minimal carbon footprint vs Fossil fuel heated greenhouses
- Mushroom house addition inside GH very profitable
- Pest control advantages
- Healthy, Fresh Local Food
- Solar powered plant production
- With dual units (plant and mushroom) augmented CO2 can boost plant production 30+% or more
- snow vibrators mechanize snow removal
- Multiple cooling devices for hot climate growing
- Minimal zoning restriction or regs. in many areas
- Very low water requirement vs outdoor growing
- With photovoltaics can be operated 'Off-Grid'
BEAM Soil Booster
Dramatically Improved Crop Yields in the Greenhouse
BEAM Benefits
Improves germination and growth rates
Increase crop yields 50-100% or more
Improve water infiltration and retention
Better soil nutrient availability
Increases soil carbon sequestration
Decreased need for fertilizer
Reduces water usage up to 6 times
BEAM (Biologically Enhanced Agricultural Management) combines a highly diverse, fungal dominant natural compost bio-inoculant to turbocharge plant germination, growth, development and yields.
BEAM material is produced in a static pile, aerobic compost 'reactor' developed by Dr. David and his wife Su Johnson. The combination of this remarkable new technology and the all season solar greenhouse will transform local and fresh food production.
