VFARM - Revolutionising Urban Agriculture

An Agriculture Social Enterprise Utilizing BlockchainAN ALTERNATIVE CROP FACTORY PRODUCING SUSTAINABLE FOOD, COSMETIC AND MEDICAL PLANTATION .

Introduction

With global demand for food going to increase at least 60 percent over the next 35 years, agriculture is ready for another revolution. The main problems affecting this sector in the 21st century include food security, depletion of natural resources, climate change, genetically modified crops and changes in global eating habits.Enter vertical farming - the idea of building all the skyscrapers occupied by vertical pile farms that produce plants twice as fast, while using 40% less power, having 80% less food waste, and using 99% less water than outside fields .

Component

The four main components form the VFarm pillar. These four pillars support a strong foundation for efficient crop production and the ecosystem of utilizing strong VFT tokens. The four pillars consist of the following:

Application

For markets, verification, and user dashboards

Blockchain Agriculture

Planting Data and Transportation Data

Use of Tokens

For supply chains and analytical data access

Vertical Agriculture

Irrigation Smart and IoT sensors

Vertical agriculture is defined as when plants or plants are planted in greenhouses of skyscrapers or on the surface of agriculture Urban plantations that revolutionize vertically. Vertical farming is any building that plants and is higher than one floor.

Water and Nutrition

The hydrophonic system is an important part of vertical farming. VFARM specifically uses the Nutrient Film Technique (NFT) in which plants are planted in an untainted solution that is recycled from the reservoir. This provides hydration (water), oxygen and nutrients, which are usually found on the ground, and are needed for roots. In vertical farming, the roots are open and there is more oxygen, plants / plants will grow faster. The NFT hydrophonic system is called a closed loop system and uses 95% less water than traditional farming methods.

Led light

LED lighting provides light with different wavelengths that target various types of chlorophyll. This increases the amount of sunlight absorbed, making photosynthesis very efficient, thus helping to achieve the main goal of vertical agriculture, which is to produce more food per square meter.

Supporting Structure

Supports the structure of the media such as cloth, separating the air part of the plant from its roots and giving them support to grow. This is also used for seeding, germination (when the seeds germinate).

System

VFarm System Components

The VFarm system consists of the following components:

VFarm Modular User Interface Engine

VFarm Application Layer

VFarm Token Management Layer

VFarm Agro Traceability Blockchain

VFarm Modular User Interface Engine

The VFarm User Interface Engine is where all interactions with users are performed, and designed for ease of use.The engine allows VFarm to be used on many devices while maintaining a unique user experience for the platform.
