Agriculture and Climate Change
                    Water Scarcity and Food Security
                    challenges of the early 21st Century.

Implementing ÜberGro’s benchmark VLA-Technology is a concrete and responsible strategy
for solving today's  urban spatial constraints.  By turning food miles into food blocks, this
method of sustainable crop production allows food to go from Farm-2-Fork in hours not days. 
                
Today water management is at the top of the list for Ag conservation. ÜberGro’s closed-loop system
reduces energy and water consumption by a staggering 97% compared to traditional farming.
The ÜberGro system will increase current aquaponic yields by 900% in the same footprint.


Our approach to accountability throughout the food chain surpasses the criteria for Organic Certification.

The pervasive use of highly toxic Agricultural Pesticides and Petrochemical fertilizers continues
to deplete the nation's topsoil rendering them devoid of nutrients.  These practices are the
number one contributing factor to today’s systemic food system failure.  This alone demands
a serious re-evaluation of the way we grow the foods that keep us alive.  The current scenario
reflects a condition that will soon become unsustainable for global agriculture systems.

Today’s Agro-Business is primarily focused on single-product systems, these mono-cultures generate
far-reaching problems as their structural need for complex logistical chains siphons money away
from food producers and alienates consumers from the source of their food.  We find this highly
ineffective, wasteful, and unrealistically capable of meeting the demand for sustainable farming.

             "Aquaponic Foods are the best way to avoid environmental contaminants." 

  
Controlled Environment Aquaponics [C.E.A.] is one-way farmers in the drought-stricken
western U.S. is seeking to grow crops using less water & power transforming
Urban Food Deserts into Urban Food Oasis



Innovation & Technology 
ÜberGro has developed an innovative new Patent Pending platform for high-density crop
production, combining triple root zone technology with vertical linear irrigation and lighting,
controlled by user-friendly "Highly Optimized Smart Technology" [H.O.S.T.]

Using (H.O.S.T) adaptive control technology, growers now receive real-time email alerts
[dissolved oxygen, lighting, pH, water temp, etc.] that enable them to remotely adjust
system parameters 
modifying growing conditions simply and easily from any location via
iPad, iPhone, Android, or computer. Moreover, for the first time, growers can meticulously
forecast peek harvest potentials throughout their entire growing operation. 


Our innovative modular platform has numerous application advantages: 

Controlled Environment Agriculture (CEA), Greenhouse Agriculture, and
Urban Agriculture. We manufacture our systems using open architecture,
allowing systems to be specifically tailored to the growers' needs.

By 2030 the worldwide demand for food will increase over 70%
 
The Problem in a nutshell:

One acre of farmland will produce about 50,400 heads of lettuce
per year, consuming 2,932,208 gallons of water.  This method is subject
to: pesticide & herbicide use, crop failure, high CO2 emissions, and requires
heavy machinery, (tractors, harvesters, disks, weeders, seeders, etc.)



The Solution:                                                                      
ÜberGro's Vertical Linear Aquaponics. The VLA 4000 consumes only 9,432 
gallons of water to produce 46,800 heads of lettuce on 800 sq.ft. of land.
This method of aquaponic farming eliminates crop loss, has zero waste, slashes
CO2 emissions, and is a one-man operation requiring no heavy machinery.


               
ÜberGro is an economically viable solution to urban food production,
creating an abundance of fresh cost-competitive Organic Produce.
               
Modeling the Cradle-2-Cradle platform, Our unique design allows all downstream
components (i.e. growing medium, vessels, bio-waste, water, etc.) to be reused in
upstream integration, ÜberGro components are highly robust typically having a
(20) Year life cycle.

Installed systems can generating cash flow in 5-7 weeks. Utilizing the continuous
365-day perpetual harvest method, you can expect an ROI in as-little-as six months. 
The ÜberGro method of Vertical Linear Aquaponics protects you and your investment
from Crop Loss, Drought, Disease, Pests, and Enviromental Damages.

Organic Food Sector

Studies estimate that the market for locally grown organic products is 30% YOY.
U.S. producers are turning to Certified Organic Farming systems as a potential
way to lower input costs, decrease reliance on nonrenewable resources, capturing
high-value markets commanding premium prices.
