Indoor Mobile Urban Guardian
1. The Indoor Mobile Urban Guardian (IMUG),miracle was created for growing food inside the home to complement the urban families living in “food deserts” (cities of dense populations with no open ground to grow food).
2. Although a much smaller system than Food Security Technology’s flagship Suburban Aquafarm, this Mark 2 prototype boosts nearly all the same features, and is a major upgrade from the original Mack 1 prototype with its unique innovative technology revolutionizing indoor fish, vegetable, microgreen, and mushroom production, never seen before.
3. The automated recycle fish growing system provides carefree maintenance as does the vegetable recycle system which is intermittently topped up with the Bonanza’s powerful brew of nutrient dense better than organic fertilizer.
4. All the attributes of the Bonanza are integrated into this food growing system after receiving waste from the fish water filter, and kitchen food waste through the side disposal door, together instantly converted into plant ready better than organic fertilizer.
5. The system is equipped with its own renewable energy source to maintain the Bonanza unit within the system making plant ready fertilizer from fish and kitchen waste, allowing the fish water quality to support year-around breeding, plant nursery for seed starts, microgreens and mushroom incubators, recycling of NFT pipes, and also LED lighting to produce indoor crops year-around.
6. The 35-gallon fish tank is designed to maintain a 15 pound tilapia breeding colony, estimated to produce 300 to 400 fingerlings per year.
7. The seed-start floating tray above the fish tank is designed to produce 14-day-old plants for transfer to the NFT pipes which produce 50 pounds of vegetables per month within a total footprint area of only 17.5 sq.ft.
8. The microgreens and mushroom incubators adjacent to the fish tank, together brings an additional 10 lbs/month, growing a total 60 lbs/month or 720 lbs/year.
9. LED lighting provides indoor vertical growing year-around production of your favorite vegetables with fish fingerlings plus, microgreens and mushrooms producing 720 lbs/year of food divided into a footprint of 17.5 sq.ft is a massive 41 lbs/sq.ft/year of food production.
10. The Indoor Mobile Urban Guardian is designed to pass through doorways onto balconies for sunlight, with a cover to protect the vegetables from insect attack and frost exposure.
11. Not only is this a phenomenal food growing machine, but also doubles as an attractive and very exciting center piece bringing nature right into the living room.
12. The estimated cost to build the Indoor Mobile Urban Guardian is $1,750 plus 60% for administration of worldwide distribution and shipping. Early bird presale purchase price for the Indoor Mobile Urban Guardian is $2,800, estimated time for manufacturing and production is between 7 and 9 months.
