Transcript of Sustain soil for food security & climate change
Need of Urban Farming
Concerns with Current Practices
Lack of sufficient land & soil due to erosion & concrete jungles
Higher density of natural soil affects stability of buildings
Water leakage through roofs by natural soil, and high gravitational loss
Soilless techniques like Hydroponics & Aeroponics have high cost & hecticness of maintenance
Sustain soil
Eco-friendly (85% waste paper)
Four times lighter- Does not exert excess load
High water retention- consumes less waterCapillary effect-
No water leakage
Excellent growing mechanism Surprisingly
mud & stain free
Self supported
Technical Aspects of Sustain Soil
Constituents – Paper pulp, Nanomaterials, fibers & dendrimers
Dry Density – 306 kg/m3
Water holding capacity – 80%
Penetration resistance – 1.6 MPa
Thermal conductivity – 0.05 W/m K
Lesser thermal & gravitational loss of water due to capillary action
Life of more than 2 years due to specially added nanomaterials
Market
Builders will have additional amenity. Customers can grow vegetables on terraces & balconies. They can have source of income.
Industrial sheds/workshops will have lavish green look with income generating plants. It will enhance roof insulation too, resulting pleasant ambience for employees.
Mud-free aspect will attract common population. Local plant nurseries can be customers for sustain soil.Restaurants, Hospitals, IT parks, Schools etc. wherever landscaping is possible.
