Imagine a world where every home had an indoor vertical garden. We should all be growing food and teaching the children.

The EU recently published a study that showed adding comercial fertilizers and pesticides to crops had an almost unnoticeable result in crop quality and yield and concluded: why are we still using these chemicals on a massive scale then?. Vertical Aeroponics is the future of farming.

I love this. I think the rest of the world, not just Africa should be planting their own food at home. Not all of it, even 1-2% would be great

Composting toilets used with goat or sheep manure and earth worms to produce liquid plant food and rich top soil to be used in green houses and hydroponic green houses to produce medicine and food crops.

[@jimmartin7899]

Ecuador has huge earthworms that could be used to produce casings to help plant growth. These giant earthworms could be used in composting bins or in growing beds and could be used has a source of protein. Bins of goat and lamb manure making potting soil with lots of one to two pound earthworms that could be turned into cans of flavored protein like spam turkey spam then worm spam?
