but still think it is smart to keep an on going list of already ramped up projects for partnering with.
i'll do my own, but i not a regular here so hard for me to keep a complete list of what is suggested on this thread.

Agreed. Current design will not work. Farming is not needed in the deep desert, because nobody is living there

Btw.:

Interesting facts about the Sahara desert and the amazon rainforest:

And the price goes down...

funny...

Well, by now the Litecoin halving should just about be happening, it was 30 blocks away when I got a tweet about it.

It may be probably a good idea to have a look on the WBB project, 1ex exchange (here is just the latest post: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.12235075, you may read 2-3 pages back to get more details and filter all claquers). In a nutshell, WBB dev is planning to start a Swiss-based exchange with direct fiat-altcoins trades for 30 different currencies. He delivered very timely all what was promised so far, so it might be a good idea to have ZEIT listed there. Let's see how that project develops, but as he is setting very tight deadlines, we will soon know more. For now it looks interesting, I keep it on my radar.

Please take a close look at their graphics.



You see no people, no grass, no livestock on a barren landscape.
For sustainable farming, there has to be enough water, for grass, for the livestock, for the earthworms.
It is the balance of nature that makes farming sustainable, that design is out of balance with the nature that surrounds it.

How long do you think those plants will last in dry heat that saps the moisture from their leaves.
Not long without constant water being supplied to their roots and misting their leaves , which done at the wrong time like around noon will kill the leaves.

Ok, those tubs of water may hold it for a day,
after that are you trucking water in.
Are you also trucking in fertilizer, because their is none around that site.
Which implies INPUT COSTs which will bankrupt that system.  

 


FYI:
Night time temps in a desert can drop to (32 degree Fahrenheit / 0 degrees Celsius) ,
which will kill those plants, and those solar panel would not provide enough energy to keep it heated, even if that unit is sealed, if it is, then the heat of the day would reach over 200 in there and kill the plants.
See what I mean about 1 type design will not work in every climate.

Wish him good luck in his goals, but showing my age here , have a fairly long background with food production.  Most of these guys talk about maintaining either a hydroponics or aquaponics type system, in multiple climates.

Flaws with these types of systems, is that you can not have a one type design that works well in every climate. A weakness in any area of their design caused by a different climate effect will cause an increase in input costs which will eventually raise prices and over time crash that system.

Flaws with hydroponics , #1 Taste, they lack it, you need healthy soil to get the perfect taste.
Although well meaning , it still places control of food in a central area.
The problems with modern food production, is it is completely foreign from what was done 100 years ago.
#1 Monoculture is foolhardy at best , 1000 acres of corn and of course the Bugs that eat it will be there in droves requiring pesticides.

Plus different plants grow better in different environments, finding the plants that are most nutritious per each environment and providing seeds to people would be better.
All People as individuals should grow some of their own food, that is the only way to ensure food security worldwide. You would be shocked at how much food can be grown on a quarter acre.
In a proper sustainable system animals are included, as they can eat things we can't, then provide milk , eggs, or meat , they make more land usable for food production. Plus they provide manure & urine, which is used to return nutrients to the soil.
One group that is doing sustainable food production already:

Gardening Tips from an old timer:
If you spray poisons in your garden , stop.
If you have a bug zapper in your yard , turn it off.
It kills the good bugs faster than the bad ones.
The good ones eat the bad ones , and create a balance, so after ~3 years , you never need chemical pesticides. The ashes from wood fires is a good source of Calcium/Lime & Potassium and micro-nutrients .
Rain water or Urine or Bloodmeal or Manure can add nitrogen, also planting legumes pull nitrogen from the air directly into the soil. A lot of people from my day would plant rye grass (which is a legume, so it add nitrogen back to the soil) in the garden for winter, and once it got up a few inches let the livestock eat it, and the livestock would also pee & poop which would enrich the soil.
Then at the end of winter , move the livestock out , let the grass grow a few inches before they would till it under. The reason for this was to give the earth worms something to eat, as a little know fact,
Earthworm casts have higher available nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, and calcium contents than surrounding soil.   http://extension.psu.edu/plants/crops/soil-management/soil-quality/earthworms

This planet is over 70% water, one of the biggest myths propagated is water scarcity.
What is being block by our corporate controlled governments, is access to that water.
They can run Oil Pipelines across a country, but Desalinization Plants or City Wide Cisterns from rain water are listed as too costly. Plus another option that is ignored that could be done anywhere with a decent humidity , is water can be pulled directly from the air , then filtered and pumped on it's merry way.
Run a dehumidifier , it is that same technology, without the filter tech.

One good book is The Art of Natural Farming & Gardening by Ralph & Rita Engelken .

Cool,  

Great Music from Common Linnets ,

Since we are sharing music.  
Radioactive - Lindsey Stirling and Pentatonix

 

FYI:
Still Laughing about the Bter's Downvoting mafia comments.   

Hello everyone! Been away for a while. Just got back from a cruise to the Bahamas. 

http://www.gofundme.com/ewkjhgw4 what you think about douglas mallete and this project ?

Caution: OFF TOPIC:

anotha' 3 kewl things from the Netherlands:

Lion
Drugs
Common Linnets(Link) (European Nashville)

Cheers,
Ray

Now it's official:

Bter's Downvoting mafia ...

First picture: Jonathan "Unlogic Array" Lee
Second picture: Votan "The Downvoter" Jackson
Third picture: Timothy "Four Eyes" Corleone
fourth picture: Claus "The vertical Jabba" Mueller*

 


*Last guy manages over 200 down votes per hour. He invented the words "Ultratasking and Multivoting"...

Found 2 more.
(I think this one is related to the first guy.)  




 

This job cannot be done by just one man.  
There must be a voting-accomplice.



Cheers

LOL , 

This guy .


 

Massive down-votes incoming at bter.com.
Interesting - Who the hell votes on a dead exchange? 

Cheers
