TEMPE, AZ--(Marketwired - Oct 19, 2017) - Green Planet Group, Inc. (
Healing the Earth has constructed its "proof of concept" proprietary food growing system at this site. This revolutionary growing system is capable of growing many kinds of vegetables for human consumption as well as animal feed, demonstrating three proprietary concepts: "Fast Track Food" -- "Food at Point of Consumption" -- "Food on Demand." In addition, this new growing system reduces water requirements by more than 90% and accelerates normal growing cycles by approximately 300% -- all accomplished naturally (no GMOs), using only organic nutrients, which the Company believes will reduce food costs by 40 percent.
Company management plans to invest approximately $5.0 million to renovate the dairy property into a showcase facility for research and demonstration of the Healing the Earth growing system. Facilities will be constructed to house growing system production lines with the capacity to feed 2,000 beef cattle, 500 dairy cattle and a number of sheep goats and chickens. Thus, in addition to demonstrating the superlative quality of animal feeds grown on the property, Healing the Earth will also be in the beef and dairy businesses.
Ken Bennett, Green Planet Group President and CEO, noted, "We're designing a truly world-class research and demonstration facility on the old Parker Dairy. We anticipate bringing prospective growing system purchasers onto this facility to show them, first hand, how beautifully livestock thrives when fed from our revolutionary growing system. Our plans include construction of a reception center complete with meeting and classrooms. We will make tours available to school groups, so that young people today are actively thinking about the solutions to the future food shortages that will present a world-wide problem by mid-century."
Work on the renovation of the property and initiation of construction will begin within forty-five days. When completed, it is anticipated that the facility will employ more than fifty people.
