3 What do we know? Some individual topics.at high speed. Increasing population Increasing pollution (air, soil, plastics) Increasing global temperature / global warming Increasing extremes in climate Decreasing availability of fresh (sweet) water Increasing demand for food

4 INCREASING POPULATION

5 5 million per month = population of Singapore

7 World cities 2050, UN report

8 Increasing pollution (air, soil, plastics)

12 Increasing global temperature / global warming Retreat of South Cascade Glacier, Washington

13 Increasing global temperature / global warming year average variation on global surface temperatures Dark blue: cooler than average. Dark red: warmer than average. Source: Global warming / evidence

32 Increasing global temperature / global warming 2013

33 Increasing global temperature / global warming 2014 Conclusion: It is getting warmer on planet earth!!!

34 CO 2 level in our air (ppm)

35 GLOBAL WARMING

36 Fact or fiction? What do we leave behind for the next generation? How can we feed the next generation?

37 Effects of global warming

40 AND SHORTAGE OF (FRESH) WATER

41

42 WATERFOOTPRINT (= Awareness) 1kg chicken liter 1kg corn 900 liter 1kg wheat liter

43 ENERGY

44 MORE PEOPLE LESS LAND LESS WATER ENOUGH ENERGY! MORE & BETTER FOOD

45 FOODPRODUCTION..

46 FOODPRODUCTION Wide approach on foodproduce and foodsupply: Produce local as much as possible Produce as efficient as possible (high yield low water & energy use) Recycle as much as possible EDUCATE!

47 g/m2 % Ltr/kg

48 FOODPRODUCTION As of tomorrow stop with open field cultivation? For watersaving? YES To stop pollution of soil by pesticides? YES Will it save energy and water? Yes it will save water, huge amounts Realistic? NO. Crops like corn, wheat, rye, rice are grown most economical in open field Crops like potatoes, cabbage, onions, garlic and lettuce are logical candidates for cultivation in a covered and conditioned environment

49 OPEN FIELD CULTIVATION

50 FOODPRODUCTION As of tomorrow everything in a Greenhouse? For watersaving? YES 2 (double yes) For reduction of pesticides? YES 3 (triple yes) biological crop protection To reduce water and energy? Water usage will decrease enormous. Energy will increase, due to increase of technology. TO BE ABLE TO CULTIVATE IN A CHALLANGING CLIMATE YES Production increase 3-4x more compared to open field, climate independent Watersaving up to 90% compared to open field For: High wire crops like Tomato, Cucumber, Bell Pepper, Eggplant and Strawberries, Blueberries, lettuce, herbs, potplants, cutflowers

51 GREENHOUSE CULTIVATION

52 FOODPRODUCTION As of tomorrow everything in Daylight Free / Cityfarm? For watersaving? YES 2 (double yes) For reduction of pesticides? YES 3 (triple yes) biological crop protection To reduce water and energy? Water usage will decrease enormous. Energy will increase, due to increase of technology, more than for a greenhouse. Production increase 3-4x more compared to open field Watersaving up to 95% compared to open field For: Perfect for short cycle crops like lettuce, herbs. Possible for small crops with longer cultivation cycle like strawberries, potplants

53 DAYLIGHT FREE / CITYFARM

54 FUTURE SOLUTIONS: Focus on most economically feasible what to produce for what market at what marketprice? High quality youngplants year round high efficient final cultivation Multi layer controlled, in m3 in Greenhouse, in m2

55 Our reference / Our experience: Country Population (million) Area (km2) USA 324, Netherlands 17, Germany 82, Brazil 207, France China 1373, Spain 46, Canada 35, Belgium 11, Italy 60,

56 ONE SOLUTION? NO! 1. STOP WASTE (B&C quality production = also waste) 2. STOP POLUTION (Reduce pesticides to ZERO biological crop protection) 3. PROMOTE PROTECTED (COVERED) CULTIVATION Hydroponic / Aeroponic in Greenhouse or Vertical Farm 4. AS LOCAL AS POSSIBLE & FEASIBLE 5. EAT LESS MEAT (MORE FISH) AND MORE VEGETABLES 6. THINK IN M 2 AND M 3 (optimal solution can be combination of both.) EVERY REGION, MEGA CITY AND CULTURE HAS IT'S OWN SPECIFICATIONS AND REQUESTS IT S OWN SOLUTION!

57 WHAT TO DO? STOP FANTASIZING, START REALIZING MAKE A STATEMENT GET INVOLVED CREATE AWARENESS GET THE KNOWLEDGE GET THE DUTCH IN EDUCATE AND TAKE RESPONSIBILITY Knowledge creates power, exchanging knowledge creates even more
