Re-gen village

Off-the-grid, is it really possible? Could be the energy grid or the food grid or some other grid, or all of the above. But some inventors and designers are giving serious thought as to how to accomplish living without dependence on public or government-provided necessities.

Regen Villages has a vision to engineer and facilitate "the development of integrated and resilient neighborhoods that power and feed self-reliant families around the world."

"In ReGen villages, household food waste is composted and fed to flies, which in turn feeds fish, which then fertilizes aquaponic gardens (multi-layered systems that combine fish farming and hydroponic agriculture, with plant roots submerged in nutrient-rich solution rather than soil). Those aquaponic farms grow produce for residents to eat, as do seasonal gardens, which are be fertilized by waste from livestock raised to feed residents. Rainwater is harvested and filtered for use in the farms and gardens, and on-site solar panels power the homes."
