To teach people how to grow their own food using latest technology so anyone can grow food in their back garden all year round

Climate change and biodiversity loss are threatening the well-being of current and future generations. 

We need to go back to our past.

It’s more important now than ever that we invest in local produce.  Cultivating our our back gardens no matter how small the space. 

I believe that more action is needed, and I can’t do it alone. We need everyone - individuals like you - to help create lasting change. Learning how to use latest technology on a small scale “Invest in growing our own food once more"  We are investing in biodiversity and help with climate change by reducing food miles, plastic and waste.

Through small collective individual actions, use of technology friendly gardens we can invest in our planet’s future by making more sustainable lifestyle choices that will make a difference. 

We have the capability to reverse these trends.

I want to create a small scale food gardens using the latest affordable technology so as any one can afford to grow their own food.  

I want to demonstrate that a small concept garden enterprise can really change life's and save money. Even if you live in the city or in the country that you can grow your own food.   We need to relearn skills and knowledge to teach to our children and grandchildren but we also need to harness new concepts like container vegetables grown under lights.

I want to demonstrate that growing our own food can have a measurable social or environmental impact and it can provide a financial return no matter how small the garden.

The advancement of green technology, renewable energy and innovative business models tackling climate change means more opportunity than ever that each one of us has the potential to make a change.

We need the funds for the business that we are actively working towards generating long-term solutions.  

What we want is a bit of an investment so we can examine various technology's i.e. to demonstrate the use of Sand batteries to hold thermal energy, from the use of small scale wind turbines or Solar Panels.  Food can be grown all year round cheaply. 

I have the land, I need the investment for the wind turbine, garden and sand battery.

Growing your own food can indeed lead to a more sustainable lifestyle. Here are some reasons why:

Reducing Carbon Emissions and Waste:

  • When you grow your own food, you control the pesticides and fertilizers used and reducing their impact on the environment.
  • Controlling water usage saves money on water bills.

Avoiding Harmful Chemicals:

  • Eating fresh, local foods means your body processes less pesticides and fertilizers.
  • Growing your own food benefits your health and you have control over your own food.  

Improved Well-Being:

  • Homegrown food tends to be organic and fresh with less harmful chemicals.
  • The physical activity involved in gardening encourages being fit. 

In summary, growing your own food empowers you to live more sustainably while enjoying the benefits of fresh, cheap food.
