AQUAMER MEDICAL CORPORATION (OTCBB: AQUM)
(Company will soon be changing its name to Aquamer Urban Agricultural Corporation)
To conduct its urban indoor farming business, Urban Agricultural will be utilizing TerraSphere's proprietary system of vertically stacked growing trays that precisely controls light, temperature, water and nutrition to grow fruits and vegetables indoors. These systems are automated, software driven and sensitive to environmental concerns.
Aquamer believes that the market for urban indoor farming is significant. It is estimated that by the year 2050 the world's population will increase by an additional three billion people to well over nine billion inhabitants, with as much as 70 percent of the world's population living in cities or urban areas by 2050, up from 49 percent today. Considering that only about 10 percent of the earth's land is arable, and that more than 80 percent of this agriculturally suitable land is already being exploited, it is projected that there will not be enough horizontal growing space to feed this substantially increasing population. For decades, humans have increasingly sought the economic and physical protection offered by urban centers, but our food production has primarily remained outside these locations where it is subject to the whims of the environment. Urban indoor farming offers the promise of feeding an increasingly hungry world in a highly productive and environmentally friendly manner.
Urban Ag's goal is to promote the sustainable consumption of natural resources through clean technologies, to demonstrate environmentally and socially responsible business practices and to provide good jobs to empower a diverse community-based workforce while at the same time creating shareholder value. Urban Ag's farming activities will offer consumers a healthy, local, sustainable, eco-friendly alternative to large-scale industrial farming, which is highly dependent upon the use of agricultural fertilizers, herbicides and pesticides that may be harmful to consumers and both the agricultural products themselves and also the environment in which they are grown. TerraSphere has provided data showing that its patented vertical farming technology reduces water consumption through a highly efficient closed loop design that requires up to 75 percent less water than conventional field agriculture watering practices. Using these techniques, Urban Ag expects to be able to produce over 50 pounds of product per square foot per year, utilizing a short growing cycle of approximately 42 days versus 50 days for average greenhouse production and as compared to up to 70 days for traditional farming methodologies.
Vertical farming offers a solution for increasing fruit, produce and herb production due to the high density production providing for a much reduced physical footprint and fewer resources relative to field agriculture. Vertical farming systems have the potential for increasing urban food supplies while decreasing the ecological impact of farming including a smaller carbon footprint due to the reduction in fuel required transporting product across the country. Urban Ag's system of pesticide and herbicide free production with closed loop systems that conserves water provides significant potential for the realization of environmentally sustainable urban food production.
