Challenges & opportunities

Traditional Farming
By 2050, 70% of 9 billion people living in the cities, 1 billion will go hungry.

Consumption
Climate crises, waste, pollution, inequality. There is currently short term growth in farming.

Ownership
There is a lack of access in a fragmented market. Only few hold the power and resources of established institutions with self-interest.

Future Farming
Farm-to-Fork local production, consumption and distribution can be done by anyone, anywhere, anytime. Autonomous automation conserves resources and monitors growth.

Sustainable Design
Resource management, localisation, sustainability is built to last. Do more with less.

Access
This is a holistic approach that is distributed, disruptive, and collaborative. Extend the value of goods and resources by sharing open-source information, collective intelligence, and growing together.
.IO = input/output.

.Io is associated with open-source technology standing for Input and Output. It's essence is binary and allows for transparent participation and emergent contributions. SkyFarms is a great way to look at Sustainable Energy Equation to promote and achieve sustainable development goals. If it takes an input of 500 Calories to grow an apple with an output of 50 Calories, then it is easy to see energy debt and is not sustainable.
