With all this tech youd imagine it should have become easier to self sustain.
- chrsw 2y agoMaybe. But when I think "tech" the first thing that comes to mind isn't "sustainability". The first things that come to my mind are "cost, maintenance, consumption and waste".
- debacle 2y agoTraditional farming has an obscene amount of waste.
- fullspectrumdev 2y agoThere’s a lot of interesting methods you can combine with tech stuff to do things like aeroponic towers, composting, mycology, etc. For example: a “enclosed” mushroom growing op (a few sheds or cabins) can be made incredibly efficient using various sensors, automation solutions, and environmental controls to maintain the optimal growing environment. It can be as complex or as simple as you want.
- andoando 2y agoI am sure there are. I was quite into aquaponics for a while as well. I just wish these things were more common place. All these technological advances...it should be easy option for people to live in communities where they can do few hours of work a day and live simply. Yet this is somehow a complete luxury! Instead we need cars, roads, computers, phones, to work 8-10 hours a day just to provide ourselves with shelter food and clothing.
