“Thinking” solutions in Ag.• Huge amount of data needed to capture

• the complexity of biological systems exposed to unpredictable weather & a variable environment

• The tenuous interaction between fertilizer input efficiency and water quality

• People: digital divide between

At current levels of technology, Sun Houses can compete in China. They need to be tested in the West

LIGHT:

• Sun Houses use sun light like open air farming

• LED’s can be used to lengthen daylight in deep Winter & gain 3 months productive time

• colored lights (red & blue) can be used as a complement, if they prove to be useful

WATER:

• existing systems of drip irrigation, hydroponics and aeroponics can easily be integrated in Sun Houses

• Further progress in science and engineering will be integrated

CYCLES:

• Sun houses in China are used for a wide variety of crops

• improved modern seed germ plasm are used in Sun Houses in China

• Further progress (biologicals, enzymes, hormones…) is likely, and will be integrated

ENERGY:

• Sun Houses use the north wall and angled black roof to buffer heat & cold and dampen temperature extremes

• simple Sun Houses stretch the growing season to ~ 8 months

• adding light & heat pumps in Winter, and heat pumps in Summer can push Sun Houses to 12 months of production

Well equipped Sun Houses in China cost $80-100 k / 600 m246

Food waste…Jean C. Buzby and Hodan F. Wells

throw out the extras. Figure 3.1 provides an example of broccoli loss at different stages.

ERS’ food loss estimates are only for the retail and consumer levels in the United States because of data limitations. Nationally-representative data on total food loss at the farm level and between the farm and retail levels are unavailable.

WHAT ARE THE CONSIDERATIONS AND INCENTIVES CONCERNING FOOD LOSS?

Some loss is inevitable because food is inherently perishable, and spoiled or deteriorated food must be discarded to ensure the safety and wholesomeness of the food supply. For example, restaurant leftovers not taken home by patrons are appropriately discarded out of health considerations. Also, some meat, poultry, and other foods are recalled when there are health or safety concerns.

Individual tastes and preferences also come into play for consumers. For example, some people may not like to eat the crusts on their sandwiches or don’t like or get around to using leftovers. Given the number of calories and overweight people in the United States, it would be detrimental for everyone to eat all the food that they are served or buy.

Economic factors may only provide limited incentives to reduce food loss, that is, some amount of loss may be economically justifiable. For example, it may not be worthwhile for a supermarket to pay for the labor and other costs to monitor and mark down foods as they approach the sell-by dates when considering the lower price they then might receive, and other factors.

Additionally, there are often tradeoffs between the advantages of using technologies that reduce loss and any disadvantages of using the technologies.
