Food Sustainability

App: Because most of those who will be living in this new subdivision will not have had previous experience with gardening. The app that will be most beneficial and connect them to sustainability will be an app that is connected to a sensor in the ground. Within this app you will be able to tell the ground temperature, perfect for knowing when to plant what seeds. This sensor will also be able to record the ground moisture content and thus be able to avoid over watering.

You will be also be able to put in the amount of people in your family and it will calculate just how much produce you will need to feed your family for the year. If the family decides to install a greenhouse you can formulate that within the app.

Food: In our subdivision there will be a move toward not depending on grocery stores. Food will be grown and made within the subdivision. 

Planter boxes: Unless you live in the urban areas you don't have the acreage to plant a huge garden, planter boxes are the way to go. They are simple and they prevent water waste and soil runoff. Within the planter boxes they can grow the specific plants and food that they want.   

Community garden for larger amount of items: There are certain food items that need to be produced in larger quantities. Such as corn, potatoes, peas and carrots. They are easier and more economical to grow larger quantities. 

Green house for winter growing: We live in an area Where it is not cold but it is impossible to grow things in the winter, green houses are the perfect solution. Each home will have the option of building one as well as having a community green house. 

Community compost pile: Because of the idea of letting nothing go to waste, and cutting down on waste, a compost pile would reduce waste and provide fertilization for the future gardens. 

Dairy Farm: Milk, cheese, yogurt and all other dairy products will be grown and produced and delivered to the homes.
