Millennium Fellowship Project: Modern Home Farm

Our project aims at solving the problem of food insecurity and consumption of high carbon foods. Our product is called MHF, Modern Home Farm, an integrated system built with a technology to rear animals and growing crops surviving from each other. It is architectural based, triangular-prism movable barn-farm with a flat top surface, and with three main components. Tank at top, crops on outer sides in stairs in form of vertical farming and animals inside. Animals get feeds, and system automatically takes organic manure from barn to crops, and they both get water from tank through pipes. Hence, crops grow healthier without chemicals. If this system is scaled globally, first, it will address effects of COVID19 through tackling the problem of food scarcity. Second, vulnerable, and pandemic victims will not face food insecurity. Third, every family/home across the globe will undoubtedly have food safety. This will also increase productivity in a sense that farmers will satisfy their families using MHF and engage in selling eggs business which will provide them with inputs to apply in their fields to boost production and high quality. We thrive to insure zero hunger and complete satisfaction
