Portable Farmsâ„¢ offers an easy solution to the rising food prices in this country, and the lack of available food and protein in 3rd World Countries. According to United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization, “12.6 percent of the world population of 6.6 billion people are suffering from Protein-energy malnutrition (PEM). Protein is necessary for key body functions including provision of essential amino acids and development and maintenance of muscles.â€
Colle Davis, the inventor of Portable Farmsâ„¢ brings his unique talents and expertise to create a working solution capable of solving the problems of food prices, food shortages and world poverty. He was educated at University of California at Davis in the field of Renewable Natural Resources and has been refining his invention of Portable Farmsâ„¢ since the early 1970’s.
Colle Davis is quoted saying, “This is very exciting. I’ve been perfecting the Portable Farmâ„¢ for 36 years. It’s actually very simple: Water circulates from a water tank filled with fish and a newly patented pump moves water through a settling tank, then the water flows through shallow beds of gravel containing fresh vegetables. This pump keeps the fish tank free of sediments and sends the nutrients to the plants. It’s a perfectly efficient system.â€
