Mission
The mission of The Waters Wheel is to develop sustainable recirculating-water farming in global population centers to address hunger and food security issues, producing pure and flavorful foods in greater abundance, that is more nutritious, more diverse, and fresh-off-the-vine; without polluting and consuming minimal-energy, without any genetic modification and free of toxic chemicals; discharging nothing into the environment besides pure vapor.
Strategic Goals
- Re-integrate agriculture (fruit, vegetable and fish farming) where people live, using systems that save space while increasing production exponentially.
- Establish school and community gardens where the skills and knowledge of recirculating-water farming are taught vocationally, equipping the next generation of leaders with the tools they can use to end hunger and starvation, globally, while simultaneously improving the quality of earth's water.
- Establish the urban farms where these solutions can be brought to bear in both urban and rural food deserts, where these methods can be taught in the community by example, developing whole new, local food production systems and food-based economies from seeds.
