....solarpunk makes a conscious choice to envision a plausible world focused on spirituality, craftsmanship, community, and natural/technological harmony — all powered by renewable energy.

So, what does solarpunk farming look like when practiced by real-life adherents?

To Navarre Bartz, former Charlottesville director of the Thomas Jefferson Soil and Water Conservation District, “Solarpunk farming has to be regenerative. Whether through permaculture, healthy soils, or something else, solarpunk agriculture keeps biological cycles going and ideally leaves the land and water around it healthier than when you started.”

Farmer Andreas George, known to his followers as Solarpunk Farmer, has amassed tens of thousands of followers across all his accounts, with whom he shares videos explaining how the average American can implement these practices on their farms.

George launched his social media identity to promote small-scale aquaponics technology, initially his primary focus. This methodology involves farming fish and plants in a recirculating aquatic ecosystem without using soil. However, many of the practices he now teaches and advocates for (such as cover crops, companion planting, sheet composting, and deep mulching) fall under a “regenerative agriculture” umbrella and are seeing a rise in popularity — no matter what name they fall under.

“I think that as long as you’re trying to improve your surroundings by growing things, that makes you [a solarpunk farmer].”

“People are beginning to realize just how easy and effective covering your soil with mulch is at retaining water and conserving nutrients, for example,” said George. “Cover cropping, which greatly improves soil health and supports insect biodiversity, is a traditional farming practice dating back thousands of years, which is now displacing the use of factory-produced fertilizers and soil amendments in home gardens and giant industrial farms alike.”

While George still advocates for aquaponics, he only considers them solarpunk when applied in an urban setting on a small scale. (There are plenty of disputes as to what is and isn’t true solarpunk on Reddit’s r/solarpunk, a 129,000+ member subreddit.) To condense his thinking, aquaponics and hydroponics are simply too costly when scaled up. They are only practical and environmentally responsible when used in limited, clean soil spaces for serving individual communities.

Closing Loops in Soilless Gardening - Hydroponics and Aquaponics

What is the future of food production going to look like? Is the projected 10 billion people in 25 years, out of which two thirds will live in cities, going to require us to convert every square meter of arable land into intensive mono cultural farms? Please don't let that be true! There HAS to be some alternative. Fortunately, there are several. Two of them are different ways of growing plants without soil, a radically new method, which may be most appealing to urban food production.

image source

Hydroponics: Growing Plants in Water

When it comes to growing large amounts of food on a small area efficiently, hydroponic systems are often brought up as a solution. And the reasons sound pretty convincing: An efficient hydroponic farm uses 90% less water, and can yield 3-10 times the amount of produce per area, with 7-14 growth cycles in a year. IMPRESSIVE! But before getting too excited, let's not forget: the devil is in the details! It's worth looking into under exactly what conditions those plants grow, being fed by what light, and most importantly which nutrients, and where they come from.

image source

The basic concept, however, of growing plants vertically, in mostly water, with some kind of substrate, such as clay balls or vermiculite, is actually a pretty nifty way to grow food where there are no fields. The most basic form of this may be the Windowfarm technique, which I experimented with myself years ago in my Budapest apartment. Going to Shanghai, the whole idea seems to be taken to a whole new level.

https://static.dezeen.com/uploads/2017/04/sunqiao-urban-agricultural-district-Sasaki-architecture-industrial-china-shanghai_dezeen_hero-b.jpg image source

Is That Really Sustainable? Or Even Healthy?

… not to mention, does hydroponics even fit into Permaculture? Because let's be honest: with a system that needs to be constantly managed and monitored you could not be further from a self-supporting ecosystem. Also, what exactly do those plants get to eat? The typical N-P-K made industrially out of petrochemicals? Most likely. So while it certainly reduces the transport related drawbacks, hydroponics is by no means energy efficient, and the nutritional value won't be any better than your most industrially grown veggies.

image source

How Does Aquaponics Compare?

Okay, so let's bring in the fish! For those not familiar with the difference between the two systems, aquaponics is the combination of hydroponics and aquaculture, which are simply fish farms. Having fish in a tank, they will naturally defecate into the water, requiring it to be changed regularly. Plants, however love to eat those nutrients that the fish excrete. Or to be more exact, they feed on the nutrients that have been converted by bacteria and other microbes. The ammonia will turn in to nitrites, which in turn become nitrates, that is food for the plants.

image source

So running the water from the fish through the plants growing substrate will on one hand feed the plants, as well as clean it for the fish to enjoy it again. So the system already closed a few loops there, making it more sustainable than just mere hydroponics. Also, the inclusion of microbes already offers a more diverse environment, bringing the system a bit closer to an ecosystem. But let's not get ahead of ourselves: Aquaponic systems still need close monitoring, as they are still a far cry from a self sustaining ecosystem of let's say a pond. Also, the water circulation / aeration is most likely going to require a pump, and depending on the exact setup of the system, maybe artificial lighting for the plants. All these aspects add to the energy requirement of the aquaponic system.

image source

A Truly Closed Loop? Consider the Food of the Fish!

When praising the sustainability of aquaponics, one thing that mustn't be ignored is the source of the fish food. Just like with the hydroponic systems, where the food for the plants or the fertilizer is considered, we can't ignore the feed we give to our fish to eat. If it is the same industrial feed, we may as well have kept to our hydroponics. Not true, since including fish already makes our system more diverse. So instead, let's continue in that same direction. What do fish eat? What is good for them? How can we grow that food ourselves?

image source

Making Your Own Sustainable Fish Food

Here I could probably start a number of individual posts, since talking about fish food is like opening up a can of worms. But fortunately, I already have a number of appropriate things written. Talking about worms, by the way, anyone who has been fishing knows that they are a favored delicacy, and anyone who composts will have no shortage of them. Since worms are mostly vegetarians, and many of us eat meat, it may have been a bit difficult to properly compost greasy, meaty, bony food wastes. That's where black soldier flies come in, whose larvae are also frequently mentioned for fish food. I still need to try growing those guys. As for green plants for the fish, duckweed makes also good fish feed, again something I have no experience with. What I do know, though, is spirulina, which is also super rich in nutrients, and I would be surprised if the fish didn't like it. So I can see throwing some composting worms, black soldier fly larvae, and spirulina into a blender, to make some great nutritious fish food. At the moment this is very theoretical for me, though.

image source

Don't Give Up the Soil Completely

So does this mean we should all focus on setting up our most sustainable fish-plant-compost combo cycles? Hells yeah! But please not at the expense of everything else! Soilless gardening, as exciting and revolutionary as it may sound, is still that: without soil. And let's face it: neither us, nor our beans and tomatoes, have evolved to live entirely without soil. That just seems wrong. Even in a small urban apartment it's worth having a bit of soil on your roof, balcony, or window sill, where you can dig your hands into a world of healthy microbial diversity on occasion. And if you do have the space, by all means, set up a pond, a dam, or another aquatic ecosystem, where fish, and frogs, and dragonflies, and numerous other species can live together without relying on our management. Apart from looking pretty, they will also provide food for us, that is nutritionally superior to anything industrially grown.

14:24 COMM. YENSEY: Marcie said you were rerecording Adele's old thing introducing newcomers to Atlanta. I don’t know what she’s talking about but she said you need to finish it.

14:25 TRM PIERS HALL: Can totally do that. Give me 15 and I’ll send you the audio.

14:25 COMM. YENSEY: Alright!

15:32 TRM PIERS HALL ATTACHED A FILE

WELCOME TO THE ATLANTA ZONE OF SAFETY!

(A/N: Pardon the old map...I still haven't made a new one. Or a clean one.)

Hello! I am Their Majesty, Monarch Piers Hall of the Royal State of Georgia, and it’s my pleasure to introduce you to my home, and your new home, the Atlanta Zone of Safety. However, I, along with most other residents, call her “ATLZoS” (attle like battle and sauce with a Z).

ATLZoS was the home of the apocalypse, of Incarareum Reparatus, but we were also the first to rebuild our city, and pioneered the concept of the Zone of Safety. Within the Perimeter, the former interstate 285, marked by the dark outline on the map, we’ve created countless innovations and technologies. Our ingenuity has allowed us to survive and grow, even with our limited protected land.

One of the most unique technologies we’ve invented is the SkyCulture™️, the development of large, open air skyscrapers which utilize aquaponics, and to a lesser extent aeroponics, to produce large amounts of fresh vegetables and fruits for our citizens, along with seafood.

Additionally, our architecture is replicated on a global scale, with our unique building techniques to increase building height without decreasing safety. Throughout any Zone of Safety in the former United States, and in most countries, you can find our structural techniques.

ATLZoS itself is divided into districts. These were originally labelled 1-17, but now have their own names. The Palace, labelled with a red 1 on the map, is located in the Royal District, where most of the state-level government relocated after the September Revolution occurred. Most of the population is located in the outer ring of the city, in primarily the eastside, northern, and suburbia districts. Most commerce occurs in Midtown and Downtown. You’ll see a lot of industrial production occurring along the Chattahooche river in Basin district and along the other edge of the Southern District.

That’s ATLZoS in a nutshell! In the next installment, we’ll actually zoom out and take a look at the Royal State of Georgia as a whole and then the political structure of the Royal State of Georgia.

Blood Brothers AU - Moon Superdome

Based off this post where Scott wrote Tony a letter and Tony wrote one back.

((For those wanting a bit of angst and some baby Stark boys, here you go. I highly recommend reading the original post first, especially the addition by my dear @stxrksarc off which this post is based))

Eight year old Tony Stark didn’t want to be a Stark anymore. The problem had to be because he was a Stark, had to be.

There were a lot of things that came with the name he was learning about at too young an age.

Things like socializing as a child prodigy wasn’t easy. Socializing as a child Stark was impossible. Either kids didn’t want to be his friend because of said socialization issue or would be his friend because their parents told them to be really friendly with the Stark boy as if the boy was a genie would grant wishes of those who let him out of his bottle.

Things like everything he said and did was under unfair scrutiny. From Grandpa Howard to teachers and even other kids in school, everyone watched what he did and had some kind of comment about it.

He was in the 2nd grade for crap’s sake, let the boy be a boy!

He wanted to run and hide every time Grandpa Howard came to visit or would be the one to pick him up from school (only because he took the boy straight to Stark Industries instead of home because exposure to the company would be good for him.)

(This was why Charlie Stark made sure to work in his office once he found out his dad was doing this. First chance he learned Tony was there, he would swoop in as fast as he could to rescue him from Grandpa Howard. Sometimes he could get there quickly. Most times he could not.)

Things like because he was a Stark, everything about him was exposed to people he didn’t even know. Every childhood milestone was publicized despite his mother’s attempts to keep him shielded from such.

But the Starks were always under the ever watchful, ever judgmental eye of the public, especially the paparazzi.

Things like how everything would be his responsibility someday. Because he’s a Stark. The firstborn Stark at that.

And all the fights between Grandpa Howard and Dad over Tony, and then even Mom and Dad about Grandpa Howard’s treatment towards Tony…well that poor boy figured that was somehow his fault too and just part of the unfair scrutiny that came with his name and his position.

He liked the name Tony. He wasn’t so sure about Stark. It was Mom and Dad’s name. It was Scott’s name. And he wanted to keep it because it was theirs too, and he loved them with everything in his body.

But it was his grandfather’s name, and that hurt in a way Tony didn’t understand.

Maybe, he tried to reason, it wasn’t the Stark name…or just the Stark name. It was the strangers who thought his name held such power yet ironically stripped him from the power of anonymity.

Maybe it’s the paparazzi and the news and the people who point at him and his family when they’re out in public.

So he decided the best option would be for him and his family to leave and find some place far far away so they can be Starks and not be Starks.

Where could such a place be? To the imagination of this little boy, the answer was obvious: colonize the moon.

This sweet boy, eager and hopeful, drafted actual schematics for a moon superdome that would house him and his family where they could be safe. Self-generating power, protective shields for the occasional meteorite, a self-sustaining aquaponics system, and temperature regulation for those scorching days and freezing nights.

The materials and transport would cost his entire inheritance, but once they made it over, at least property tax would be nonexistent. For an 8 year old to know that much already, that still blows Ant-Mun’s mind.

But the boy’s schematics were discovered by the Stark patriarch while he was still drawing them out, and poor Tony got a verbal lashing over wasting time on foolish dreams and worse - heaven forbid - wasting human capital.

So he hugged his schematics close to his chest and kept his ideas close to his vest. He was bound and determined to prove to himself that people outside of the house would not get to know everything about him. Not even his mother would get to know these secrets.

It would be really tough to convince his parents to go to the moon with him though for, of course, the boy never considered the possibility he would be grounded from the moon.

There was one he wanted to share the idea with though, one who was honestly the best option for going with him, one he refused to leave behind: his four-year-old shadow.

Tony quickly led his little brother to the backyard the first opportunity he could. “Scotty! How would you feel about us living on the moon?”

The little one’s mouth dropped in awe. “Duh moon, Tony? How come?”

Not wanting to scare his baby brother, Tony avoided the question. “Don’t you think it would be fun? We could build it ourselves and we could see stars all the time! You love seeing stars. And we could float because there’s no gravity and we could eat what we want and everything!”

Actually, Tony suspected they’d be living on fish and vegetables, which would be difficult to get Scott to eat, but he’d keep chocolate on hand to coax Scott to eat. That’s what their nanny did anyway.

Scott looked up at the sky, seriously considering his big brother’s idea. Tony would never lead him astray after all. And living on the moon really did sound so cool. “Can we eat Oreos there?”

“Absolutely! Oreos and peanut butter and you can have your own room if you want.”

“I don’t know if I want that part,” little Scott shook his head, which made Tony look back at his schematics and move the orange sticky note with Scott’s name on it and set it right beside the sticky note with his own name on it. Tony might prefer it that way anyway.

“How we gonna build it, Tony?”

“Well ummm…” Tony looked at his blueprints before he looked around the backyard before settling on the big oak tree. “We can build a model of it here! In the backyard! Just to make sure my plans will work before we actually launch into space.”

Tony beamed excitedly as Scott cheered at the idea before they ran to the garage.

An hour later, Maria looked out the window to the backyard, eyebrows raised when she saw her babies running around the oak tree like mad, odd-end objects scattered all around the grounds.

On the tree’s trunk was a construction-paper sign that Maria could barely make out the words on it from so far away: “Moon SuperDome Construkson”

Vertical Farming Industry Competitive Landscape and Industry Analysis 2030

The global vertical farming market was valued at USD 6.92 billion in 2023, with a projected compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 20.1% from 2023 to 2030. This rapid growth is attributed to the increasing adoption of environment-friendly methods for producing fruits and vegetables. As the global population continues to rise, urban agriculture has become essential to meet the demand for food in densely populated areas.

Vertical farming involves growing food in stacked layers, which may be set up in warehouses, skyscrapers, or even repurposed shipping containers. The popularity of organic foods, often considered healthier and more nutritious, has bolstered demand for vertically farmed produce due to its eco-friendly image. Consumer preferences for organic food also impact producers, policymakers, and suppliers, as they develop marketing strategies to cater to these health-conscious and environmentally aware consumers.

Gather more insights about the market drivers, restrains and growth of the Vertical Farming Market

Health concerns such as obesity and heart disease have led many people to seek healthier food options, increasing the demand for organic produce. Additionally, issues like groundwater depletion and changing climate conditions have encouraged traditional farmers to explore alternative farming methods. Vertical farming allows for year-round crop production, which significantly boosts productivity compared to traditional farming. Controlled environment agriculture (CEA) techniques enable these indoor farms to maintain ideal growing conditions through artificial environmental controls, including lighting, temperature, and fertigation (the application of fertilizers through irrigation).

The need for high-quality, reliable food sources is also driven by urbanization and population growth. The adoption of vertical farming techniques addresses this demand by enabling crops to be grown in urban spaces, such as multi-story buildings or warehouses. As the global population is expected to increase significantly by 2030, vertical farming offers a viable solution to meet food production needs.

Growing Mechanism Segmentation Insights:

Among the various growing mechanisms used in vertical farming, hydroponics held the largest market share in 2022 and is expected to remain the dominant method from 2023 to 2030. Hydroponics is popular due to its relatively low installation costs and simplicity in operation. This method involves growing plants without soil; instead, the plants’ roots are placed in a nutrient-rich mineral solution. Hydroponics minimizes the risk of soil-borne diseases, which makes it an efficient choice for many farmers. Additionally, hydroponic systems typically produce higher yields than soil-based growing systems, as they allow for precise control over nutrient levels. The plants’ roots are immersed in a solution that is periodically checked and adjusted to maintain the ideal nutrient balance.

Consumer awareness of pesticide effects has further boosted demand for hydroponic farming, as it allows for pesticide-free growth. Hydroponic systems also reduce water usage and space requirements, making it highly efficient and environmentally friendly.

The aquaponics segment is expected to gain a notable share of the market during the forecast period. Aquaponics combines hydroponics with aquaculture, creating a closed-loop system where fish waste provides nutrients for plants. This eliminates the need for artificial fertilizers and pesticides, making aquaponics an entirely natural and sustainable system. Plants like lettuce, kale, chives, peppers, mint, cucumbers, and peas are well-suited to aquaponic growth. Fish waste in the water enriches the nutrient levels, accelerating crop production while simultaneously supporting fish growth. This system is sustainable, eliminates the need for chemical fertilizers, and is particularly attractive for consumers and farmers focused on organic and eco-friendly production.

The aeroponics segment is also projected to experience significant growth over the coming years. Like hydroponics, aeroponics does not rely on soil; however, it does not even use a growing medium. Instead, plant roots are suspended in the air within a dark chamber and periodically misted with a nutrient-rich solution. This approach allows for maximum oxygenation of the roots, which promotes faster and healthier plant growth. Aeroponics is considered one of the most efficient growing methods, as it allows plants to grow quickly and with minimal water usage. The lack of soil and medium also reduces contamination risks, making aeroponics an ideal option for producing high-quality produce with minimal resource usage.

Each of these vertical farming methods hydroponics, aquaponics, and aeroponics offers unique advantages, and the continued growth of these segments reflects the demand for sustainable, efficient, and pesticide-free food production systems.

Different aquaculture methods that promote sustainable fisheries

Several aquaculture methods promote sustainable fisheries by minimising environmental impact, conserving resources, and enhancing fish health. Here are some key approaches:

Integrated Multi-Trophic Aquaculture (IMTA): This method involves cultivating multiple species from different trophic levels in the same system. For example, fish, shellfish, and seaweed can be farmed together, where waste from one species provides nutrients for another. This promotes nutrient cycling and reduces the need for artificial feed.

Recirculating Aquaculture Systems (RAS): RAS utilises a closed-loop system where water is continuously recycled, filtered, and reused. This method significantly reduces water usage and minimises effluent discharge, making it suitable for areas with limited water resources. It also allows for better control over environmental conditions, leading to healthier fish.

Aquaponics: Combining aquaculture with hydroponics (growing plants without soil), aquaponics creates a symbiotic environment. Fish waste provides nutrients for plants, while plants help filter and purify the water for fish. This method maximises resource efficiency and can be practised in urban settings.

Polyculture: This method involves farming multiple species together in the same environment, such as fish and shellfish or different fish species. Polyculture can enhance biodiversity, reduce disease outbreaks, and improve overall system resilience.

Selective Breeding: Focusing on breeding fish that are more resilient, faster-growing, and require less feed can enhance sustainability. Selective breeding can lead to more efficient farming practices and reduce reliance on wild fish for feed.

Organic Aquaculture: Organic standards restrict the use of synthetic chemicals, antibiotics, and genetically modified organisms (GMOs). Organic aquaculture emphasises natural feeds and sustainable practices, promoting environmentally friendly methods and improving fish health.

Sustainable Feed Development: Research is ongoing to develop sustainable fish feeds that reduce reliance on wild fishmeal and fish oil. Alternatives include plant-based feeds, insect protein, and byproducts from agricultural processing, which can lower the ecological footprint of aquaculture.

Restoration Aquaculture: This method involves breeding and releasing native species to restore depleted populations in the wild. It can help conserve biodiversity and promote ecosystem health, particularly for species that have been overfished.

Offshore Aquaculture: Farming fish in open ocean environments reduces competition for coastal space and minimises environmental impact on fragile ecosystems. Offshore aquaculture can provide more natural conditions for fish while reducing risks associated with disease and parasites.

By employing these sustainable aquaculture methods, the industry can contribute to healthier marine ecosystems, reduce overfishing pressures, and support global food security.

Why sustainable fisheries are important

Sustainable fisheries are vital for several reasons, each contributing to ecological health, economic stability, and social well-being:

Conservation of Marine Ecosystems: Sustainable fisheries practices help protect biodiversity and maintain the balance of marine ecosystems. Overfishing and destructive fishing methods can lead to habitat degradation and the collapse of fish populations, disrupting the entire marine food web.

Food Security: Fish is a crucial source of protein and essential nutrients for billions of people worldwide. Sustainable fisheries ensure a reliable supply of seafood, helping to meet the nutritional needs of growing populations while reducing reliance on unsustainable fishing practices.

Economic Stability: Many communities depend on fishing for their livelihoods. Sustainable fisheries support local economies by providing jobs in fishing, processing, and related industries. This stability is crucial for coastal communities and economies that rely heavily on marine resources.

Cultural Significance: Fishing often plays an important role in the cultural heritage and traditions of many communities. Sustainable fisheries help preserve these traditions while ensuring that future generations can continue to engage in fishing practices that are both culturally and environmentally responsible.

Resilience to Climate Change: Healthy fish populations and ecosystems are better equipped to withstand the impacts of climate change, such as ocean warming and acidification. Sustainable fisheries practices can enhance the resilience of marine ecosystems and help mitigate the effects of these changes.

Reduction of Bycatch and Habitat Damage: Sustainable fishing methods aim to minimise bycatch (the unintended capture of non-target species) and reduce damage to marine habitats. This helps preserve species diversity and maintain healthy ecosystems, contributing to long-term fishery productivity.

Compliance with Regulations: Sustainable fisheries promote adherence to environmental regulations and guidelines, ensuring that fish stocks are managed responsibly. This fosters a more ethical fishing industry and encourages sustainable practices among fishermen.

Global Cooperation: Sustainable fisheries management often requires collaboration among countries, organisations, and stakeholders. This cooperation can lead to better governance, shared best practices, and the development of international standards for responsible fishing.

Long-term Productivity: By focusing on sustainability, fisheries can maintain productive fish stocks over the long term. This approach ensures that fishing can continue as a viable industry without compromising the health of marine resources.

Sustainable fisheries are essential for protecting marine ecosystems, ensuring food security, supporting economic livelihoods, and fostering resilient communities in the face of environmental challenges.
