Serre Urban

The greenhouse as a meeting place to relax, game, but also of care, attention, grow something that grows and lives in time, where the dual urban and rural (social and agricultural) is expressed in a double soil, partly cultivated and partly 'furnished' as a living room at home. One specimen of a new circular space between nature and artifice, a place enclosed and extended environment, physiology the body and the enclosing architecture of the epidermis (through careful design of mechanisms for collection and water treatment, storage and utilization of solar energy and ventilation systems and ventilation).

hydroponic agriculture

hydroponic farming is a method of growing plants in water, it is considered technically sophisticated practice in most regions of the world. The applications of hydroponic farming town seem to date back at least to the Hanging Gardens of Babylon, shown to produce fruits and vegetables using up to 20 times less land and 10 times less water than conventional agriculture, eliminating chemical pesticides, fertilizers and CO2 emissions from agricultural machinery and long-distance transport. The hydroponic hydroponics is an advanced technique and intensive agriculture, where the plants are grown in a controlled environment (greenhouse) with water containing essential minerals. Urban agriculture is sustainable in the hydroponic with the best available technology is able to grow crops in the city offering a high yield from a small footprint, using renewable energy sources.

Thank urban agriculture can be made hydroponic systems sustainable food production combining the roof and vertical walls, reducing the environmental impact of agriculture and contributing to food security. The objective of urban hydroponics is:
: 1.The
'hydroponic save the earth, making it about 20 times more than the cropped land. 2.The
'save the hydroponic water through a recirculation for irrigation will consume up to 10 times less water. 3.The
'hydroponics reduces pollution: urban greenhouses eliminate the use of tractors and farm equipment causing emissions of CO2 and the use of fossil fuels. 4.The
'hydroponic recovers rainwater: the greenhouse can be designed to retain and use rainwater.
5.Conseguentemente urban hydroponic farming reduces the effects of torrential rains. 6.The
'hydroponic improve food security: The integrated pest management does not require chemical pesticides, improving access to fresh vegetables to urban communities. 7.The
'hydroponics reduces the waste heat produced by the buildings may well be used to heat the greenhouse. 8.The
'hydroponics and cooling of buildings: in the case of urban agriculture on the roof or on vertical facades, green cover mitigates the effect of heat as un'isolante.

produce food in the city in a sustainable manner, without CO2 emissions and no waste stream. The vegetables grown at the Science Barge require seven times less land and four times less water than agricultural crops. More than half the world's population lives in cities. The supply of food in these cities is based on transportation that pollute air and water. Too often conventional agriculture issues fertilizers into the groundwater polluting streams and rivers. Traditional plantations are aimed at contributing to air pollution and global warming. Science Barge is therefore a great way to reduce the degradation of the planet, producing food, energy and water. Urban agriculture can be a good good way to protect the environment and man.
"The Science Barge uses a system of cultivation in greenhouse recirculating hydroponic called, so by growing tomatoes, lettuce, cucumbers and peppers. Hydroponic farming does not use soil, and uses only rain water and river water. The only energy comes from renewable sources like solar, wind and biofuels, so do not contribute to any global warming. " The aim of the Science Barge is to help people to live sustainably with agriculture Urban, producing what you need without damaging the world around us. The project of urban agriculture sponsored by the Science Barge hydroponics is doing to talk about themselves in New York, where on a barge to travel makes it more visible and accessible to the public. The Science Barge is a project of non-profit and exists thanks to the philanthropy of the scientists who participate. But the team hopes to shed light on agriculture urban hydroponics, practiced throughout the world, from Havana and Shangahi Dakar. So the Science Barge goal is to prove the viability of agriculture can not be used in hydroponic city. So scientists hope to work to design these For roofing systems, starting from the advertising carried on in schools in need of fresh vegetables for lunch.

hydroponic agriculture VERTICALE_Le New Technologies for Agriculture Vertical

"Vertical farming would create local food supply, allowing for a more sustainable development of the area "said Glen Kertz, CEO of Valcent, a company in El Paso, Texas, who is trying this way technological development. His company builds greenhouses for hydroponic vertical and horizontal rather than external. The result is space saving, life in urban areas and allowing farmers to irrigate and fertilize with a lot less waste and pollution.
to the laboratory in El Paso, crops grown in pots in bright rows on vertical panels that rotate on a conveyor belt. Thus the movement of plants would allow them to receive the exact same amount of light and nutrients, "is an optimization process," says Kertz, "which allows plants to grow lettuce for example, 15 times more than normal cultivation for hectare, with 5% of water used in conventional agriculture. "Valcent The hour is to kill a plant on a commercial scale within the first months of 2009.
