TerraSphere greatly increases productivity.The TerraSphere system grows plants in cubic feet versus square feet, producing yields up to ten times greater per square foot. In a traditional greenhouse, Cornell University currently grows 11.5 pounds of spinach per square foot annually. TerraSphere grows 50 to 60 pounds per square foot annually.
TerraSphere minimizes wastewater. The watering injection system in each sphere recycles water, generating little or no waste. Wastewater is one of the most significant environmental costs associated with traditional methods of hydroponics.
TerraSphere yields produce with a longer shelf life. TerraSphere’s crops are attached to their roots until they reach the cooler, which makes for a much longer shelf life than crops harvested by traditional methods.
TerraSphere uses 50 percent less electrical power. The sphere’s utilization of light allows for a much more efficient power draw than that associated with traditional hydroponic methods
Il progetto nasce nell'inverno del 2005 dall'intenzione di calarsi nella realtà dell'agricoltura biologica per sperimentare e verificare un metodo di lavoro rispettoso dell'ambiente e degli animali.
Il progetto si sta realizzando attualmente nella bioregione del Montello (Veneto) cercando di coltivare una molteplicità di ortaggi di stagione all'incirca 40.
Inoltre la vendita avviene senza intermediari.
Ora stiamo tentando di costruire attraverso facebook
ed un blog una rete di coltivatori ed appassionati dell'agricoltura biologica.
