CoCo San Sustainable Farm is a non-profit urban farm project on sanitary district buffer land, using recycled water and sustainable farming practices that reduce GHG emissions and increase carbon sequestration in soil. This project focuses on reducing nutritional poverty. It's four goals are: Food Equity; Environment; Education; and Economic Development.
Food (agriculture) production and distribution is estimated to cause approximately 25% of global warming (UN), which is causing drought in many areas. Agriculture uses 80% of the ground and surface water, increasing the water shortage. AgLantis is creating an urban farm right in the middle of heavy industry and will use hydroponic greenhouse production which yields as much as 40 times the produce using 10% of the water. The farm is on unused public buffer land, uses recycled agricultural grade water and is an innovate, replicable solution that dramatically decreases the carbon and water footprint of food production and distribution. Using recycled water high in nitrogen and phosphorus also eliminates the need for fossil fuel based fertilizers. The UN estimates 40% of agriculture is lost from farm-to-mouth. Growing in urban centers dramatically decreases that loss, much of which is due to long distane transportation.

Tekniken idag rör sig fort och det är lätt att bara dras med in i nya digitala trender. Hoppa inte bara på tåget. Börja med att ställa er frågan, varför?
Det som är trendigt idag är en självklarhet imorgon. Hur skapar man hållbara lösningar som användarna får en relation till?
Med utgångspunkt från den aktuella digitala förvandlingen av IDG visar Kajsa Sahlström Gren och Anna Benckert från Cybercom hur du kan skapa smarta digitala lösningar som håller.
CoCo San Sustainable Farm is a project of AgLantis 501c-3). We are an14.8 urban farm using recycled water. We are a "Green Incubator" on Central Contra Costa Sanitary District. We will be growing salads4schools and the food bank in a high-tech greenhouse donated by AgraTech and teaching high-tech greenhouse management, soils science, water science and other hands on science, and integrating the farm into community college and JFKU curriculum. We are using recycled agricultural grade water and believe greenhouse growing of produce in urban farms on buffer land of water reclamation facilities is going to help with the increasing food shortage on the planet.
The United Nations predicts that 1 billion people will be starving by 2050. The carbon footprint of conventional agriculture is huge. We must innovate to use wasted resources to grow food locally, using wasted resources such as public buffer land and recycled water. Greenhouse growing uses a fraction of the water for many times the productivity. Public health requires a fresh supply of produce for everyone.
Presentation about how regenerative agriculture sinks carbon in soil and helps reverse global warming. Plant photosynthesis uses CO2 in the atmosphere and microbes sequester carbon in soil by eating plant exudates at roots which are sugars. Protecting microbes is critical to drawing down atmospheric CO2 and sinking it in soil. Conventional agriculture kills the microbes in the soil and adds CO2 to the atmosphere. Regenerative agriculture is carbon negative.
For its sixth Future Thought Leaders panel discussion, “Behind ‘Farm to Table’: The Labor of Farming,” nine panelists joined us at Kitchens for Good to discuss the challenges of farming, including access to land and capital, regulatory changes, technological advances, and attracting a younger generation.

Sustainable development is an organizing principle for meeting human development goals while also sustaining the ability of natural systems to provide the natural resources and ecosystem services on which the economy and society depend. The desired result is a state of society where living conditions and resources are used to continue to meet human needs without undermining the integrity and stability of the natural system. Precision Farming - Precision agriculture (PA) is a farming management concept based on observing, measuring and responding to inter and intra-field variability in crops. First conceptual work on PA and practical applications go back in the late 1980s.[2] The goal of precision agriculture research is to define a decision support system (DSS) for whole farm management with the goal of optimizing returns on inputs while preserving resources. The goal of sustainable agriculture is to meet society’s food and textile needs in the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs.
Among these many approaches is a phytogeomorphological approach which ties multi-year crop growth stability/characteristics to topological terrain attributes. The interest in the phytogeomorphological approach stems from the fact that the geomorphology component typically dictates the hydrology of the farm field.
The practice of precision agriculture has been enabled by the advent of GPS and GNSS. The farmer's and/or researcher's ability to locate their precise position in a field allows for the creation of maps of the spatial variability of as many variables as can be measured (e.g. crop yield, terrain features/topography, organic matter content, moisture levels, nitrogen levels, pH, EC, Mg, K, and others).[7] Similar data is collected by sensor arrays mounted on GPS-equipped combine harvesters. These arrays consist of real-time sensors that measure everything from chlorophyll levels to plant water status, along with multispectral imagery.[8] This data is used in conjunction with satellite imagery by variable rate technology (VRT) including seeders, sprayers, etc. to optimally distribute resources. However, recent technological advances have enabled the use of real-time sensors directly in soil, which can wirelessly transmit data without the need of human presence.Precision agriculture uses many tools but here are some of the basics: tractors, combines, sprayers, planters, diggers, which are all considered auto-guidance systems. The small devices on the equipment that uses GIS (geographic information system) are what makes precision ag what it is. You can think of the GIS system as the “brain.” To be able to use precision agriculture the equipment needs to be wired with the right technology and data systems. More tools include Variable rate technology (VRT), Global positioning system and Geographical information system, Grid sampling, and remote sensors.

2. PROBLEM
It costs $1 a day to feed a child a salad;
35 cents for pizza.
• Most schools and many families cannot afford fresh produce
• The Contra Costa Food Bank cannot get salad vegetables
because they are highly perishable and unavailable locally
3. PROPOSED SOLUTION
Low-cost, sustainably grown, local, produce
• 14.8 acres of public surplus buffer land
• Recycled, agricultural-grade water discharged into the Bay
• Recycled water is high in nitrogen, providing free fertilizer
• Food Bank will pick up and distribute to clients and schools using existing
transportation and distribution systems
We deploy under-utilized resources to nearly eliminate
4 of the major costs of food production:
LAND, WATER, FERTILIZER, and TRANSPORTATION.
