Sustainability is a key driver here, which is intended to bring tomorrow&#8217;s agriculture into harmony with nature and society. The Except Integrated Sustainability agency has unveiled the <a href=\"https:\/\/except.eco\/projects\/polydome\/\">Polydome<\/a>, a revolutionary design for greenhouse agriculture that aims to offer the possibility of food production on a commercial scale without impacting the environment. The highlight: While today&#8217;s greenhouses usually produce only one type of plant, a symbiotic system is created here, a polyculture system &#8211; as the name suggests &#8211; in which diverse plants and animals co-exist. Plants, crops, animals, and insects are strategically interwoven to connect waste, water, and energy flows and take advantage of different space and light conditions.    <\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"960\" height=\"450\" src=\"https:\/\/www.milk-food.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Polydome.jpeg\" alt=\"Greenhouse\" class=\"wp-image-655803\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.milk-food.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Polydome.jpeg 960w, https:\/\/www.milk-food.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Polydome-768x360.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/www.milk-food.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Polydome-480x225.jpeg 480w, https:\/\/www.milk-food.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Polydome-200x94.jpeg 200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 960px) 100vw, 960px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n<p class=\"is-style-serif has-large-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">The Polydome system strategically weaves together a variety of plants and animals, utilizes every inch of the greenhouse, and is designed to eliminate the need for synthetic fertilizers and pesticides. Furthermore, it promises high yields (60-90 kg per square meter) and diverse services (over 50 crops, two varieties of mushrooms, chickens, eggs, fish and honey), so even a small polydome system should provide a varied food supply. Through this, the creators:inside promise an almost unbeatable efficiency: it is estimated that even cities as densely populated as New York City could cover the majority of their own food supply using the available roof space through the use of Polydome. A less dense city like Rotterdam could meet an estimated 80% of its food needs by using only 3% of its land area.   <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"is-style-sans-serif wp-block-paragraph\">Best Practices: <span style=\"background-color: rgba(33, 33, 33, 0.2);\"><a href=\"https:\/\/scenariojournal.com\/article\/polydome\/\"><b>P<\/b><\/a><\/span><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/scenariojournal.com\/article\/polydome\/\">olydome<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p class=\"is-style-serif wp-block-paragraph\">Photo: <a href=\"https:\/\/except.eco\/projects\/polydome\/\">Except Integrated Sustainability<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Next Level Greenhouse Industrial agriculture has run into ecological and social dead ends here and [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":655804,"template":"","trend_category":[1540],"trend_status":[1208],"trend_group":[],"trend_timeframe":[1539],"class_list":["post-725937","trend","type-trend","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","trend_category-production-en","trend_status-steep-thesis","trend_timeframe-future"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v28.2 (Yoast SEO v28.2) -
