Through our work with The New Clermont Project we are able to meet and visit with many other interesting groups that are doing great work. The goal of the Science Barge is to promote the sustainable development of cities around the world. It is a sustainable urban farm that grows crops using a hydroponic greenhouse powered by solar panels, wind turbines, and biofuels. The crops in the greenhouse are irrigated by captured rainwater and desalinated river water. Food is grown without carbon emissions, no agricultural waste is discharged into the watershed and no pesticides are used. |
