Analysis Of Lila Tierra
Lila Tierra is a beautiful city, with about 100,000 people and a world-renowned agricultural system. The nice weather and fresh air are enjoyable for the residents but do not affect the farming, as we are using contained hydroponics. Our engineers’ careful planning and research enabled this city to move from traditional agriculture to hydroponics, creating greener ways to farm and provide food for a thriving city with relatively large food needs. By 2050, it is expected the world’s population will be about 9 billion, and food production will have to double to support everyone. Using hydroponics as our vegetable and farmed crickets as our protein will have a positive impact on the environment and will save space.

Vegetables are also grown on top of the buildings, in several neighborhood rooftop greenhouses, and in-home hydroponics. Not having to use large trucking systems for transporting food reduces the amount of greenhouse gases, because people walk instead. In the Sister Solariums, each of the building’s floors are fanned out into a spiral during the day so that each floor gets equal amounts of sunlight. Solar-powered LEDs provide light during bad weather and at night for extra sunlight. The risk of environmental factors affecting the food is greatly reduced because it is all grown completely indoors to reduce the risk of poor air quality and pests. Also, there are multiple locations for the greenhouses and Sister Solariums to mitigate the risk of disease spreading through the greenhouses and affecting the plants, and of something catastrophic happening to the Solariums, like …show more content…
We discussed using many different sources of protein, but though they were good sources, we found that they take up a lot of space and resources, and they would not be able to provide the stable and reliable source of protein that we need. In our city, cricket flour is a very popular and useful protein source not only for household use, but also by our world-renowned chefs here in Lila Tierra, who believe that insects are the innovative and forward-thinking food of the future.
I.C.E. (Ideal Cricket Environment)
I.C.E is the automated computerised systems that take care of all the cricket’s food, water, light, and waste problems.
Energy efficient wind and solar energy provides power for I.C.E.
The crickets are grown in unused areas, such as empty lots and the sides of sidewalks, as well as the second to fourth floors of the Sister Solariums.
Crickets require 14 hours of light a day, which is provided by natural sunlight and supplemental, energy efficient fluorescent lights.
The average temperature for crickets,which is about 80 to 90 degrees, is by I.C.E.
Crickets can suffer from many diseases, but they can be kept under control with regularly cleaning of cages in the I.C.E. Inbreeding is another common problem with crickets, but it can also be solved because the crickets are separated into many different
