FOOD

Around the world, more than enough food is produced to feed the global population—but as many as 811 million people still go hungry while over 50% of grain traded around the world is used for animal feed or biofuels. 

— Action Against Hunger & The Biofuels Digest​​​
The LIFEHAUS is designed to produce its own food, which includes meats, legumes, vegetables and fruits. You can even grow your own cocoa tree if you so happen to be a chocolate lover!
Agriculture in the classical sense takes up much space that can otherwise be utilized for several means, however, with the use of simple technologies, the LIFEHAUS can provide more food using less space and resources.
The LIFEHAUS integrates 4 systems to optimize both surface and growth in the process of producing clean, healthy food.
​Organic Agriculture and Aquaponics:​ The concept is designed to replace pesticides and chemical manure with a balanced micro-ecosystem that heals and nourishes itself naturally. The system introduces birds, insects, fish, and botanical and mineral pest repellents.
​Greenhouse Agriculture: Every individual LIFEHAUS is designed to include a greenhouse to produce tropical foods, even during the coldest weather. The greenhouse expands the specter of plantation for a larger variety of edible, healing and air purifying plants.
Hydroponics: This system allows a vertical condensed plantation, which reduces the horizontal plantation area, and evades all diseases that arise from unhealthy soil and pests. Different Technics are usable, like wick, ebb&flow, nft, water culture, drip and aeroponic.
​The land surface needed per person, per year, to be self-sufficient depends on the region, climate, altitude, soil fertility, presence of savage fauna like bees and flora, and many other factors.
The Lifehaus concept attempts to reduce the land space needed per person by integrating the above-mentioned systems and making for more efficient permaculture.
The production of food in the LIFEHAUS is most complex and delicate, as it is directly affected by geography, ecosystem and population-related factors.
