After
reading about tissue-engineering meat in On
Farming -which for me is extreme- my farming ideas are more abstract than
tangible. I will farm:
1.
Over population social awareness (globally)
2.
Global and Temporary birth control-policies
3.
Regulations on urban inhabitation
It is a fact that one of our major issues is
the fast growing population around the World, which bring issues as scarce
resources such as food, water and energy, also bring high risks of epidemics of
mortal diseases. The population is
growing faster than the design and implementation of sustainability approaches
that could address our global crisis. I will concentrate efforts in
simultaneous strategies to control one of the main factors threatening the
future of our well being in this Planet. The development of possible solutions
for our global crisis has to be in a holistic fashion, we have to attack the
base of the problem, educate the people and then implement the strategies.
Farming…
When
I think in farming something, I would farm 2 things that might not help a lot
to the food crisis, but might help our ecosystem and definitively our stress
levels. As a child I grew up in a natural reserve seeing a bio-luminescent bay in front of my house in Puerto Rico, also seeing lots of fireflies. Unfortunately
both conditions are not longer as evident today as they were 20 years ago. The
reason for this is the pollution in the water (do to motor boats) and the
pollution of artificial light do to the rapidly urbanization of the area. So, I will create a farm in the bay for single-celled
bioluminescent dinoflagellates (Pyrodimium bahamense) and a reserve area to farm fireflies.
