Agriburbia Principles…• No Net Loss of agricultural value or revenue ("Green

Fields" development), or

• Production of a significant portion of dietaryrequirements (up to 50%) grown within or in theimmediate surrounding area of the community

• Provide commercially viable opportunities for enhancedself-sufficiency and local market growing

• Integrate Sustainable Energy Practices including solar,wind, geothermal and others,

• Incorporate established financial mechanisms such asMetropolitan Districts and Community Associations, tobuild and manage both traditional infrastructure (streets,water, sewer) and agricultural infrastructure (irrigation,machinery).
