MAKE A POSITIVE IMPACT
Organic vertical farming and permaculture are some of the most regenerative activities.
SUPPORT OUR MISSION
We design and build replicable solutions to grow food at homes in cities
LET'S START BUILDING
Our 1st project is in Hayward, CA includes green roofs & walls with edible gardens, and a mini food forest.
WEB3 REGENERATIVE FINANCE
Looking for collaborators to work with us in this project. The idea is to unlock funds through community crowdfunding on Web3 and Web2, and to create a promotion campaign. Help us steward a regenerative URBAN project. Let’s connect through email to begin the conversation.
CITIES NEED TO BE REGENERATIVE
Current real estate developments are focused on making the most $ per square feet. We propose a way to switch to a model based on making the most positive impact on the ecosystem per square feet of urban real estate development.
MOST REGENERATIVE ACTIVITIES
We have identified net plus organic vertical farming as one of the most regenerative activities. By using clean energy and sustainable practices for the assembly or fabrication of the food growing systems in a Home, we intersect Food, Energy and Fabrication. These are needs in cities, but also huge sources of impact on our ecosystems.
PERMACULTURE IN CITIES
Permaculture is another practice that enhances the positive value of the impacts of Food, Energy and Fabrication. We also strive to use the limited space in urban residential properties to incorporate other permaculture components such as food forests. Permaculture and net plus vertical farming activities result in a broad impact on economics, health, innovation, sustainability, climate, and biodiversity, among others.
ALL HOMES SHOULD PRODUCE ORGANIC FOOD
By combining architecture, vertical farming and permaculture, we propose solutions to grow organic food at homes. These homes with farms make the following specific positive impacts:
- Healthier food closer to home.
- Community trading, collaboration and interaction.
- Restoring the ecosystem by increasing natural capital.
Property owners need incentives and service providers need support to provide these solutions
URBAN HOUSE FARMS @ FAIRVIEW
For this project, we need funding to build four urban house farms for two adjacent homes being built in the Fairview neighborhood in the San Francisco East Bay. The funds will be used to meet the budget of the property owner, enabling him to fully build the farms; and to help us develop the urban house farms network tools and community.
MULTI-DIMENSIONAL FARMS
We are currently focused on three types of Urban House Farms:
1) Green Roofs with edible gardens
2) Green Walls with edible plants
3) Mini food forests
All of these have many other regenerative values such as carbon sequestration, aesthetics and green economy growth, to name a few.
The first two types have other important regenerative values such as energy efficiency, by enhancing and reducing the insulation for the home; And the trifecta of reducing the ecological footprint, offsetting carbon and greenhouse gas emissions; by reducing the construction materials (of the walls and roofs).
The third type contributes with soil restoration and biodiversity. There are more imaginable positive impacts with this kind of project.
APPROVED BY THE PLANNING DEPARTMENT
The Urban House Farms @ Fairview will be built in the next year or so in the Fairview neighborhood in Hayward, California.
We, as sustainable design-builders, have incorporated the three types of urban house farms for this project.
For “Home 2” , there will be a green roof and a green wall. For “Home 3” there will be a green wall that turns into a green roof, and a mini food forest. The project has been approved by the property owner, and by the planning department of Alameda county. In case you are wondering, “Home 1” is the existing home where the property owner currently lives.
URBAN HOUSE FARMS NETWORK
With this project we plant the seed of an urban house farm. This seedling intends to become a forest of farms, interconnected with the mycelian web3 network. Each food farm will connect with each other creating a regenerative network of urban food farms that:
– Result in TRADE and interaction
– Provide a LOCAL source of healthy food
– Enhance COMMUNITY and ECOSYSTEM
– Begin a movement related to FOOD and NATURE that contribute to a better ENVIRONMENT within our CITIES
