The Smart Farm will provide a model for organic agricultural processes that incorporates technology, comfortable living spaces, educational opportunities, and compassion and connectivity to the surrounding community. The Smart Farm stems from a holistic view of global interrelationships; specifically environmental, economic, and social needs.

Each system and sub-system is linked together by a constant interchange of resources. The interaction between these systems make the world we live in complex and interesting, but also very fragile. When a force causes just one sub-system to move out of equilibrium, the result is an imbalance throughout the entire system. Our real and perceived needs as human beings have led us to lifestyles that cannot be repeated in the future. By design, the Smart Farm will positively impact the environment and future generations.

There is a common misconception that the environment and social infrastructure are deteriorating slowly, and there is plenty of time to repair it. However, this is only true when comparing it to the speed in which we encounter our immediate needs on a daily basis. This misguided thought has led society to value instant gratification over long-term sustainability. False senses of entitlement and poorly chosen priorities have developed as a result. Humans have manipulated relationships that were not, and can never be, fully understood. The result? We are depleting our resources, deepening social rifts, negatively impacting the natural environment, and starving our economic future.

In essence, the Smart Farm represents a realization that sustaining human life, needs, and desires for the future requires a drastic change in our lifestyles today. The Smart Farm will be a repeatable and scalable model to prove that change is not only possible, but desirable.
