THE GLOBAL FOOD DISTRIBUTION MODEL IS BROKEN. WE CAN FIX IT.

Page 2: Designing resilient farm system - Eric Amyot

The Problem

The Four Main Components of

Food Security

Lack of Availability There should be a reliable and consistent source of quality food

Lack of Stability People should have the ability to access and utilize food that remains stable and sustained over time

Lack of Access People should have sufficient resources to produce and/or

purchase food

Lack of Utilization People should have the knowledge

and basic sanitary conditions to choose, prepare, and distribute

food in a way that results in good nutrition

The Solution

Addressing & Providing

Food Security

Availability Modular Farms literally grows food where the consumer is, making farm-to-fork a reality

Stability Modular Farms provide locally accessible and relevant, ready-to-consume food that is always grown sustainably, no matter the environmental or economical climate

Access Modular Farms provides farmers and

everyday people access to technology to grow their own food or buy

locally grown food year round

Utilization Modular Farms are food safe

certified, do not require a degree or extensive training to operate, and grow

safe, nutritious and traceable food

The Modular Farm

Setting New Standards

Climate Control / HVAC

- 40’ x 10’ x 10’ More space than a shipping container

- Truly Modular Interconnecting modules offer crop and revenue diversity

- Food Safe and CSA / EASA Certified - R22-R35 & Rugged Construction

Can be deployed anywhere

- True Controlled Environment Agriculture Equals higher yields & better plant health

- Closed-loop Air Recycling System Eliminates the need for ambient air and optimizes CO2 supplementation and commercial dehumidification

The Container

Lighting - 60, 8’ Intravision ‘Spectra Blade’ LEDs

Double-sided, slim profile with customizable spectrum

- Developed in partnership with the University of Guelph

The Modular Farm System

7 Complimentary and Connectable Farming Modules Each module serves a unique purpose in the diversity and scalability of a farm

01. Modular Farm The foundation unit, and the first Module a farmer will start with

02. Vestibule A clean room, office, extra storage, module connector, etc. Whatever its use, it’s a crucial addition to the Modular Farm

03. Macro Farm Wall-to-wall ZipGrow Towers, in the same footprint as the Modular Farm, means up to 50% more yields

04. Micro Grid Supplement your farm’s energy consumption on the grid, or run it off the grid entirely

05. Water Capture Store extra water, or collect ambient or rain water when required

06. Micro Farm A horizontal hydroponic system to start seeds and grow crops like microgreens and sprouts

07. Cold Storage When getting your harvest to market right away isn’t an option
