As the world population rapidly grows, it has outpaced growth in food production and, therefore, the ability to meet future nutritional needs of the planet. By 2050, researchers predict the world food production needs to increase by 70% to meet the demands of the growing global population. Our project presents a sustainable agricultural system that meets the nutritional demands of a subset of the US population while also being profitable. Controlled environment agriculture (CEA) systems are a promising solution to this dilemma. The CEA system utilizes hydroponic techniques, which grow crops in nutrient-rich water instead of soil. The hydroponic techniques are coupled with a recycling system to facilitate water reuse for a more sustainable process. Further, the entire CEA system will be encapsulated in recycled shipping containers and placed directly behind big brand stores such as Whole Foods. The proposed “farm-to-table” business model will be able to generate fresh local produce in a myriad of ecosystems. This method of growing crops can be modeled using mathematical optimization to maximize net-present value of the technology by determining what to grow and how much, while meeting nutritional demands of the population. Ultimately, our team aims to provide a flexible and robust technology that can produce food across disparate regions of the world.
