A worm tower is a simple and effective way to take any garden bed from average yield to gloriously abundant. 
The aim is to generate biogas or electricity and heat from on-farm organic waste (and possibly off-farm wastes) for use or sale, and produce safe farm digestates to displace artificial fertilisers presently in use. 
Chicago's first vertical farm is located in a former factory and is quickly being renovated to be a zero energy, aquaponics indoor farm.
The zero-energy facility relies on an on-site CHP system fueled by methane produced in-house by an anaerobic digester.
Why don't we see projects like that all over the world? Why is it not the norm? It has to change! 
well. Zombies as an analogy for WTSHTF is still valid. And there are some very good idea in there 
Addressing growing concern over climate change and the rising level of the world’s oceans, Russian architectural firm Remistudio has designed a massive hotel concept that can endure extreme floods. The arch-shaped building has a structure that enables it to float and exist autonomously on the surface of the water. It is a bioclimatic house with independent life-support systems. Half of all farmers in the developing world are women, and women farmers can grow 30% more food if they have access to the same resources as men. By helping women farmers, we could reduce global hunger by 150 million people. 
This project explores possibilities that are here and ahead, through function and form. Alma is a concept street lamp to light up paths by harvesting and storing energy from trees. No additional power source is required. The life span of the lamp is equal to the life span of the tree.

The Center for Innovation, Testing and Evaluation (CITE) will be the first of its kind, in scale and scope, fully integrated test, evaluation and certification facility dedicated to enabling and facilitating the commercialization of new and emerging technologies. CITE will be modeled after a mid-sized modern American city, integrating real-world urban and suburban environments along with all the typical working infrastructure elements that make up today’s cities. 
Smart Gardener combines your selected plants, garden layout, and household size with complex planting variables, to create a Smart Garden Plan just for you.
It keeps your Journal, so you don't have to. It's also dynamic, meaning it tracks and displays all other's entries about the varieties you are growing. 
it's not because you want to live off the grid autonomously that you have to be soft on hygiene :) 
This course will explore, through lectures, discussions, field trips, and required projects, a design/thinking methodology that seeks to profide for our physical needs, food, water, shelter, energy, etc., while doing so in an environmentally friendly, sustainable manner. 
What if your lamp and laptop was powered by plants? 'Moss Table' by Biophotovoltaics is an innovative concept product demonstrating the future potential of Bio-Photo-Voltaic (BPV) technology. 
Growing Cities is a feature-length documentary film about urban farming across America. 
A doctoral student at the University of Delaware has developed a prototype for a self-sustaining, emissions-free solar reactor that produces hydrogen fuel. 
There are many benefits to building your own attached greenhouse to your house -- here are some design tips for how to take advantage. 
Hand-powered devices have been used for millennia, but during the last quarter of the 19th century a radically improved generation of tools appeared, taking advantage of modern mass production machinery and processes (like interchangeable parts)... Via ideokilo, Artilect FabLab Toulouse 
Dry your fruit, vegetables, and other goods with your own sun powered dehydrator. Electric Food Dehydrators can be expensive and consume unnecessary energy. 
How the Classroom of the Future will use technology and design to provide for Introverted Learning styles and modalities within Extroverted Classrooms. For 30 years New Mexico-based Reynolds and his green disciples have devoted their time to advancing the art of "Earthship Biotecture" by building self-sufficient, off-the-grid communities where design and function converge in eco-harmony. However, these experimental structures that defy state standards create conflict between Reynolds and the authorities until... |
