CHAPTER ONE

CH.1 : ABUOT THE PROJECT...................................................

Did you know? 262 million people were affected by climate disasters in 2004, more than 98 percent of them in developing countries

1. INTRODUCTION Although agriculture is one of the causes of the continuation of mankind and the emergence of civilizations However, the development of life styles in line with the current conditions and the technological revolution have caused pollution, overcrowding of cities and desertification. These applications dealt with the realistic concept of agriculture as a basic response to these conditions in the goal of achieving practical goals related to the human race, such as repairing a break in the food system, developing local communities and raising the standard of their lives. . practically; Vertical farming proposes a non-tax space To integrate nature, agriculture and urban expansion Eco-friendly city centers and avoiding dangerous expected risks - shortages around the world.

It is a creative solution aimed at using traditional solutions in a modern way Technology-supported agriculture to raise production and save the country by preventing soil degradation, for example, and also supports highlighting aspects of good traditional agriculture.

CH.1 : ABUOT THE PROJECT...................................................

1.1 OVERVIEW My project is a three-dimensional farm located in Amman - Abdoun Abdoun Al Shamali The project aims to serve neighboring residential neighborhoods and improve the quality and quantity of crop production These buildings will produce edible fruits, vegetables, algae, and fungi throughout the year. This helps reduce the energy costs of transporting food to cities, and reduces the carbon footprint in the atmosphere

The project consists of: General Administration, Quality Control Center, Manufacturing District, The agricultural and marketing area, in addition to the residential and office floors, is attached to a miniature treatment plant The project consists of 30 floors

The content of the project was conceived as a vertical plant farm: beginning with a middle market open to all floors for the use of products in the purchasing process of the farm, The project also provides an exhibition as a basic nucleus and educational exhibition spaces that dominate the path of movement for the visitor within the project to go through a single experience that shows the importance of clean food in our lives and explains to him that the health of the agricultural process and plant health is our health, and the visitor's sequence is governed by the sequence of plants historically down to hybrid plants, The project also provides a section for community participation in this new type of project that stimulates the user to accept this type of project in general and the new agricultural technology in particular and to absorb, educate and educate them in agricultural techniques, The movement continues to infiltrate the project,

2

CH.1 : ABUOT THE PROJECT...................................................

The project creates an internal natural environment such as forests. The movement between levels is vertical in the form of a vertical garden that provides a green environment and is considered an educational outlet for the residents.

The main goal By 2050, 80% of the Earth's population will rise in urban centers. Which requires the provision of large quantities of food supplies, energy resources, and suitable areas for residential, commercial and agricultural activities. In addition to water supply, integrated food production for human population density with good food distribution Thus, we have to limit the unexpected climate changes resulting from the unbalanced (traditional) agricultural activity that causes desertification, so we turned our minds about meeting those necessary needs through the creation of new urban engines that provide job opportunities such as vertical agriculture that uses traditional solutions with modern methods and current global technology.

This concept includes a new environment for the development of plants in crowded cities within urban centers within a multi-storey building subject to climate control, free from pollution, pesticides and bacteria, protecting crops from chemicals and providing seasonal crops throughout the year under special conditions.

It also enables us to produce agricultural crops in much less time than traditional farms.  The world lost 1/3 of arable land He destroyed its soil by consuming the nutrients present in it, so we must leave it alone to renew itself, the main goal of man’s existence is to reconstruct the earth and exploit its natural wealth to rebuild it and not to destroy it.

CH.1 : ABUOT THE PROJECT...................................................

Discovered from the earliest humans and structured in a modern, engineering, technical and scientific way And transporting them from the destroyed outside polluted with fertilizers, fungi, weeds and pesticides to a clean interior using smart agricultural towers containing agricultural technologies of different sizes and heights inside the wards produce clean healthy food completely free of fertilizers in line with intensive studies to understand the environmental aspects, i.e. dependence in the first class on simulating the environment to secure an environment An elaborate interior virtualization whose secret lies in the operating system and the process of development and achieving flexibility in the merging between them is flexible and permanently developable in the face of difficulties, and this in turn represents the continuity and sustainability of the building being the main engine for the required quantitative and qualitative transmission, and thus we achieve a sustainable chain formation as in the unfinished food chains

The general significance of the project o o o o o o o o o o o o o o

Crop production all year round There is no relationship between crops, droughts, floods and pests The food is grown naturally without any pesticides or fertilizers Restoring agricultural lands to nature and restoring ecosystem functions Significantly reduces the incidence of many infectious diseases, obtained from growing crops Converting gray and black water into potable water by collecting water from evaporation and transpiration It is added to the grid to generate methane gas from fuel consisting of compost and parts of plants and animals not edible Dramatically reduces the use of fossil fuels (no tractors, plows and charging needed Create a sustainable environment for urban centers.

It creates new jobs The economy improved in the tropics and subtropics It can reduce the incidence of armed conflict over natural resources, such as water and agricultural land.

Prevent loss of crops due to shipping or storage 4 Protect crops from unpredictable, harmful weather

CH.1 : ABUOT THE PROJECT...................................................

The main points that sparked the world's trend of rethinking the agricultural sector o o o

o

o

o o o

Preserve the soil and not deplete its valuable nutrients Avoid this cultivation of any type of sanitation Cultivation in these towers does not require washing because washing transforms limited pollution into total contamination during the washing process, so food remains clean as long as pesticides are not used and field weeds and fungi are not available, and 11% of food pollution comes from green leafy vegetables Also, wrapping leaves in humid environments leads to contamination, as 60% of what comes out of farms of food is destroyed Also, the shelf life for consumption is significantly higher than the shelf life of field crops, which is estimated at 12 days, except that they reach stores after the first or second day approximately.

It has a beneficial effect in poor cities as it provides job opportunities for the local population The vertical farm idea emerged to address the global food crisis, environmental pollution and desertification Its productivity is 130 times the field farms 1 foot, equivalent to 130 times the amount on the same area

1.2 WHY DID YOU CHOOSE THIS PROJECT ?................................

•1.2.1 Desertification •1.2.2 Frost •1.2.3 Famine •1.2.4 War •1.2.5 Pollution

•1.2.6 Overpopulation •1.2.7 Water Scarcity •1.2.8 Lack of agriculture land •1.2.9 Global Warming •1.2.10 Temperature change

CH.1 : ABUOT THE PROJECT...................................................

1.2.1 Desertification........................................

Desertification is a type of land degradation in which a relatively dry land area becomes arid Increasingly, they usually lose their water bodies as well as plants and wildlife.

It is caused by a variety of factors, such as climate change and human activities.

Desertification is a major global environmental problem

Conclusion The cause of desertification to a shortage of agricultural land

1.2.2 Frost......................................................

Many plants can be damaged or killed by freezing temperatures or frost. This varies according to the type of plant and the exposed tissues and the extent of the temperature drop: "light frost" from 0 to (-2) degrees Celsius.

(28-32) degrees Fahrenheit Frost Hard It will harm plant species (-2) degrees Celsius, (28) degrees Fahrenheit

Conclusion Freezing weather conditions affect plants

1.2.3 Famine...................................................

Famine is a widespread scarcity of foodstuffs caused by several factors including crop failure, population imbalance, or government policies. This phenomenon is usually accompanied or followed by regional malnutrition, famine, epidemic and increased mortality. Almost every continent in the world has experienced a period of famine throughout history. Some countries, particularly in sub-Saharan Africa, continue to experience severe famine.

6

CH.1 : ABUOT THE PROJECT...................................................

o The vital resources on which agriculture depends are overexploited and misused o 800 million people in developing countries face chronic undernutrition o 199 million children under the age of five suffer from acute or chronic shortages of protein and energy o Arable land and clean water became scarce o While agriculture struggles to keep up with the population o Agriculture is declining as a priority for research, investment and foreign aid.

Conclusion Starvation due to lack of food security

1.2.4 War.......................................................

War is a state of armed conflict between societies . It is generally characterized by intense mass aggression, destructiveness, and usually high mortality. The absence of war is often called "peace."

Total war is a war that is not limited to purely legitimate military objectives, and can result in significant civilian or noncombatant casualties.

Conclusion

In wars the use of weapons is harmful to the environment as harmful chemical weapons in plants and agricultural lands

7

CH.1 : ABUOT THE PROJECT...................................................

1.2.5 Pollution..................................................

Pollution is the introduction of pollutants into the natural environment that causes negative change.

Pollution can take the form of chemical substances or energy, such as noise, heat, or light Pollutants and constituents of pollution can either be foreign substances / energies or naturally occurring pollutants.

Pollution is often classified as either a continuous source or a non-stationary source

Conclusion Pollution and increased carbon dioxide spending affect plants and plant life

1.2.6 Overpopulation......................................

Overpopulation occurs when the number of species exceeds the carrying capacity of their ecological niche.

Population increase is a function of the number of people compared to the related resources, such as water and essential nutrients that they need to survive. It can result from more births, lower mortality rates, increased migration, unsustainable biomes and resource depletion.

1.2.7 Water Scarcity.........................................

Water scarcity is the lack of sufficient available water resources to meet the water needs within the region. It affects every continent and about 2.8 billion people around the world at least one month each year. More than 1.2 billion people lack access to clean drinking water.

8

CH.1 : ABUOT THE PROJECT...................................................

1.2.8 Lack of agriculture land...........................

One of the major problems facing agriculture is the loss of agricultural land, because as more land is lost, it will become difficult to produce the amount of food needed to feed the growing population. When discussing land area, the term hectare is often used, and this term is a unit of area equivalent to 10,000 square meters, or about 2.5 acres.

•1.2.9 Global Warming....................................

Global warming and climate change are the terms for the observed mean temperature rise in the Earth's climate system and its related impacts.

1.2.10 Temperature change...........................

A) Low temperature damage: 1- Asphyxia in cold regions during the winter and the ice accumulates and covers plants for long periods, which leads to the formation of the process of inhalation of toxic substances and the diffusion of carbon dioxide and increases the concentration and thus plants can suffer, especially with slow growth

9

CH.1 : ABUOT THE PROJECT...................................................

2- Physiological drought In some cases, the plant cannot absorb what it needs from the water despite its availability in the soil to compensate for the lost through the transpiration process.

3- Hearing This process occurs after the ice melts, as it is extended in the ground, which leads to the uprooting or cutting of the plant roots and thus the death of the plant due to the inability to absorb water.

B) High temperature damage: Associated with the effect of high temperatures and drought, which causes direct damage to protoplasm cells (PROTOPASM). It appears that young seedlings and seedlings are at a high temperature between (5060). The damage depends on the type of crop, the age of the affected part of the plant and the duration of exposure to this degree. The damage appears in several forms. : 1- Torso stem 2- Heat heaters 3-SUN SCALD 4. Metabolic disturbance: High temperatures also affect the rate of photosynthesis, as it decreases with the increase in gastric respiration, and depends on plant temperature at a high degree to resist the quality of the protoplasm and the tissue with low water content can withstand more water than the presence of an insulator from the wax layer or The cork in the peel and the vertical positioning of the leaves died to protect the plants from damage to high temperatures

Conclusion o

A study concludes that rising temperatures due to climate change could see up to 1.2 billion people suffer from heat stress by 2100 if greenhouse gases are not curbed.

Deferent temperature for various plants variation , Each plant need different surrounding temperature

o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o

Crop production all year round; 1 closed acre equals the equivalent of 4.6 acres or more outdoors, depending on the crop (for example, strawberries: 1 acre equals 30 outdoor enclosed acres) There is no relationship between crops, droughts, floods and pests.

Food grows naturally without any pesticides or fertilizers; This method prevents water run-off by recycling the black water.

Restoring agricultural lands to nature and restoring ecosystem functions Significantly reduces the incidence of many infectious diseases, obtained from growing crops Converting gray and black water into potable water by collecting water from evaporation and transpiration It is added to the grid to generate methane gas from fuel consisting of compost and parts of plants and animals not edible Dramatically reduces fossil fuel use (no tractors, plows and charging needed) Transforming abandoned urban properties into food production centers; Create a sustainable environment for urban centers.

It creates new jobs The economy improved in the tropics and subtropics It can reduce the incidence of armed conflict over natural resources, such as water and agricultural land.

Prevent loss of crops due to shipping or storage Protect crops from unpredictable, harmful weather

Economy....................................................... o Production available in all 4 seasons

14

CH.1 : ABUOT THE PROJECT...................................................

o Vertical farm: The required amount is 5% of the required traditional farm quantity o In the vertical farm, one (1) dunum can accommodate 49 people o In the traditional horizontal farm, 166 dunums are needed to accommodate 49 people

o The space required :  Vertical farm: 1 acre Traditional farm: up to 166 acres  1 outdoor strawberry acre is equivalent to 30 acres in Agricultural Towers 1 closed acre is equivalent to 4.6 acres or more o

Conventional farming takes a long time in transportation and produces pollution: vertical farming is the opposite

15

CH.1 : ABUOT THE PROJECT...................................................

The importance of the project in the countries of the Middle East This technology can be received in the countries of the Middle East if it is dealt with in the right way At the outset, we can say that this concept is only a new and modern concept, but it is the content of results and quality

The countries of the Middle East are worthier than other countries in applying this modern technology, as it is a major market due to o The lack of arable land or the misuse of our farmland o Big problems with food security o Our water scarcity o The most expensive part of such projects is energy, but energy is relatively cheap in Middle Eastern countries compared to America, for example o We can also optimize the use of renewable energy sources due to the high temperature that we are suffering from. We can crystallize and convert them to another form represented in electric energy, as it is not without wind turbines. o

Also, the countries of the Middle East want to eat ample amounts of power. If the market share is considered, we find that these countries are the healthiest food groups.

o

Also, diabetes and other diseases are widespread in the countries of the Middle East, and we hope to reduce it over the coming year

o

The taste, nutritional habits and people's awareness of these clean foods dominate the culture of an entire society by reconsidering the nutrients that enter their bodies as well as the calories they enter into their bodies, and this makes them accept this category of food to reduce obesity and control weight loss.

o

16 Water resources in Jordan are very limited, and the per capita share of water is 15 cubic meters of what

CH.1 : ABUOT THE PROJECT...................................................

o

international standards recommend

o

An increase in the large population, which leads to an increase in the demand for water and food resources

o

The wastewater used in the Jordan Valley is mainly transported by gravity from the treatment plant at Khirbet al-Samra to the King Talal Dam and then to the Jordan Valley farms. Along this system, treated wastewater (recycled blue water) is used to generate hydroelectric power as it flows from the King Talal Dam.

o

Excessive withdrawal of groundwater that leads to climate change, which in turn will reduce the amount of rain. It is necessary to look at the numbers and use the actual water in light of the amount of products that were exported from Jordan.

o

It should also be noted that Amman, the capital, is supplied with non-renewable groundwater, which forces energy to pump water.

Therefore, solutions must be developed for the use of ground and surface water in agriculture.

o

Future food security risks due to its population growth and its dependence on food imports that are constantly exposed to price increases, making agricultural production within the country a potential vital force.

o

This trade in actual water provides support for the continued work of the agricultural sector and those in charge of it. Given the less productive conditions that the agricultural sector is going through compared to other sectors (only 3.5% of the country's GDP), this support allows for the continuation of current, possibly inefficient uses of water

o

Understanding this idea by itself will create the building of our great farms

Agriculture in ancient Greece was hampered by the terrain of mainland Greece, which allowed only about 10% of the land to be properly cultivated, which necessitated the specialized export of oil and wine and the import of grain from Bulgaria.

Roman Empire.............................................. ...... .

o

The Romans used the feudal system that flourished in the Middle Ages



The Romans had four systems of farm management:

o Direct work by the owner and his family o Slaves perform work under the supervision of slave managers, o Chartered farming or distillation: Where the owner and lessee divide the farm's production; And cases in which the farm was rented to the lessee

The manly or feudal economic system

Modern agriculture

 British Agricultural Revolution................... ............... ... 

New agricultural practices emerged such as:

o o o o

Incorporation of small lands into larger farms Use of the machine (mechanical machines) Agricultural crop rotation method Selective reproduction - the adoption of a specific development in phenotypic traits – This in turn led to the dispensation of a large proportion of the workforce and the orientation towards the industrial revolution, so production increased, and this in turn led to a major turning point in history, the emergence of more productive techniques for agriculture, the method of crop rotation was used due to the depletion of the soil nutrients, the most important of which is nitrogen levels.

Organic Agriculture

For most of its history, agriculture was organic, in the absence of industrial fertilizers or pesticides, and with the advent of chemical agriculture, Rudolf Steiner called for agriculture without synthetic pesticides. This movement has become a global movement, and organic farming is now practiced in many countries.

on the lake’s marshy shore, they built rafts out of reeds, stalks, and roots, topped the rafts with soil and mud from the bottom of the lake, and then drifted out to the center of the water. Crops would grow on top of the rafts as their roots grew through the rafts and down into the water. The rafts often attached together to form floating fields the size of islands (Turner).

1627 – Sir Francis Bacon first introduced the theory of hydroponic gardening and farming methods in his book Sylva Sylvarum, in which he established the idea of growing terrestrial plants without soil (Saylor).

 1699 – English scientist, John Woodward, conducted water culture experiments with spearmint and found that plants would grow better in less pure water than they would in distilled water and that plants derive minerals from soil mixed into water solutions (Turner).

2.2 CONCULSION………………………………………………………

Farming indoors is not a new concept, per se, as greenhouse-based agriculture has been in existence for some time. Numerous commercially viable crops (e.g., strawberries, tomatoes, peppers, cucumbers, herbs, and spices) have seen their way to the world’s supermarkets in ever increasing amounts over the last 15 years. Most of these operations are small when compared to factory farms, but unlike their outdoor counterparts, these facilities can produce crops year-round.

Japan, Scandinavia, New Zealand, the United States, and Canada have thriving greenhouse industries. As far as is known, none have been constructed as multi-story buildings. Other food items that have been commercialized by indoor farming include freshwater fishes (e.g., tilapia, trout, stripped bass), and a wide variety of crustaceans and mollusks (e.g., shrimp, crayfish, mussels).

What is proposed here that differs radically from what now exists is to scale up the concept of indoor farming, in which a wide variety of produce is harvested in quantity enough to sustain even the largest of cities without significantly relying on resources beyond the city limits.

Cattle, horses, sheep, goats, and other large farm animals seem to fall well outside the paradigm of urban farming. However, raising a wide variety of fowl and pigs are well within the capabilities of indoor farming It has been estimated that it will require approximately 300 square feet of intensively farmed indoor space to produce enough food to support a single individual living in an extraterrestrial environment (e.g., on a space station or a colony on the moon or Mars)(35). Working within the framework of these calculations, one vertical farm with an architectural footprint of one square city block and rising up to 30 stories (approximately 3 million square feet) could provide enough nutrition (2,000 calories/day/person) to comfortably accommodate the needs

Constructing the ideal vertical farm with a far greater yield per square foot will require additional research in many areas – hydrobiology, engineering, industrial microbiology, plant and animal genetics, architecture and design, public health, waste management, physics, and urban planning, to name but a few.

The vertical farm is a theoretical construct whose time has arrived, for to fail to produce them in quantity for the world at-large in the near future will surely exacerbate the race for the limited amount of remaining natural resources

Established year : Before 2015 Area : 69,000 square feet Site : The location is in Newark and it is the largest city in New Jersey : This building is the headquarters of AeroFarms, a company that has been developing vertical farm technology for the past decade Certified B Corporation is led by Fast Company and is one of the world's most innovative companies Our patented Aeroponic technology provides ideal conditions for the healthy growth of plants leading indoor vertical cultivation to a new level of precision and productivity with minimal environmental impact and virtually zero risk.

What are Aerofarms?

Started in 2004, AeroFarms is a vertical inhouse agricultural company on a mission to grow the best plants possible for the betterment of humanity.

“The way we grow is also 390 times more productive than field farming, with little impact on the environment: We grow with 95% less water, part fertilizer, and no harmful pesticides, herbicides or fungicides. We grow food. Fresh without any soil or sunlight, we provide our community with free food and pesticides all year round! '' o

The company has secured a whopping $ 40 million in financing from world-famous chef David Chang, the giant IKEA group and the ruler of Dubai - Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid. The company intends to use the funds to meet the growing challenge of providing healthy and sustainable food to a growing global population using their innovative aerobic farming system.

They transformed a vacant steel plant in Newark into the largest productive vertical farm in the world just 45 minutes from Manhattan.

The green project will also create 78 new jobs for the city by the end of 2015, as well as bringing fresh, nutritious, and pesticide-free food to the Newark community. The facility operates 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Local product delivery takes place 4 times a week to local food markets and restaurants around Newark.

Leafy greens grow without sunlight or soil in vertically stacked ponds in a fully controlled indoor environment.

It's better for the planet than conventional farming because it requires 95 percent less water, grows in half the time of conventional crops, doesn't deplete the soil and can be grown year-round and served locally - even in cold climates.

The 70,000 square foot indoor facility produces 75 percent more productivity than a conventional outdoor farm of the same size.

This is partly due to: The ability of indoor vertical farm to regulate crops regardless of season, giving 22 crop cycles per calendar year.

Smart pest management " Every aspect of our growing process has been optimized to reduce and reduce pest infestation. In addition to the indoor environment we control, our growing methods disrupt the natural life cycle of common indoor pests until they never begin."

Smart scaling The size and configuration of AeroFarms is highly customizable. The systems consist of units that act as building blocks that can be stacked vertically or lengthwise.

"This allows us to grow in diverse locations and achieve final revenue per square foot, regardless of area, with quick installation."

Smart data : Our botanists monitor millions of data points every harvest season. "They are constantly reviewing, testing, and improving our growing system using predictive analytics to create a superior and consistent result. Through remote monitoring and controls applied, we have reduced the typical risks associated with conventional farming."

46

 best vertical farming experiences in the world Substrate smart : “We have developed a patented reusable cloth for sowing, germination, growth and harvest. Our growing cloth media is made of BPA-free recycled plastic, which each takes 350 water bottles (16.9 ounces) from the waste stream. The cloth can be completely sterilized. After harvest, they are replanted without risk of contamination, as they act as a barrier between the fog and the vegetation.

Smart light : “We use LEDs to create a specific light recipe for each plant, giving the greens exactly the spectrum, intensity and frequency they need for photosynthesis in the most energy-efficient way possible. This engineering lighting allows us to control size, shape, texture, color, flavor, and nutrition with sharp prickly precision and increase productivity. . " o

The company worked hard to optimize every step of their growth process. When they looked at LEDs, for example, they realized that plants didn't need the yellow spectrum to grow, and that yellow light was the biggest hog in energy, so they redesigned the lamps to bring out the yellow. They have also developed their own systems for everything from robotic harvesting to packaging.

The indoor farm system adopts a crop stacking system to grow sufficient quantities of food and production, but this also means that each shelf must have its own light source for the plants to grow. All of these lights increase your energy bill.

Inland lands to the environment - growing crops, but this energy This habit depends on the internal verticality of the "Pink house" system, so it grows faster with less energy

 best vertical farming experiences in the world

A new wave of research is showing that "pink" light - a mixture of red and blue wavelengths is all that a plant really needs to grow. In the full spectrum of ROYGBV, O, Y, G, and V are not really necessary for plant growth, only R and B. In addition to reducing the energy amount of lights, the LEDs are cooler, which also reduces the cooling load Pink house is a new type of indoor farmhouse that grows crops with pink light. Instead of bathing the plants with white light (which has all the colors of the spectrum), Pink house uses a mixture of red and blue light.

By not using all the other colors, indoor vertical planters can reduce your energy bill by using low-power LEDs that only emit just the right shade of purple.

Purdue University researchers are currently studying the use of red and blue lights on plants, an application example that has already been used on a real indoor farm, Caliber Bio therapeutics grows plants for medical use and has a 150,000 square foot indoor farm in Texas that relies on this pink light. Stacked up to 50 feet tall, their indoor planting system grows 2.2 million plants with red and blue LED lights, designed by EEA Consulting Engineers. "A photon is a terrible thing to miss," says Barry Holtz, of Caliber Bio therapeutics. "So we developed these lights to properly match the photosynthesis needs of our plants. We achieve 20 percent faster growth and save a lot of energy." o

The facility generates part of its energy from renewable sources, such as solar energy.

According to the Environmental Working Group, about 70% of fresh produce sold in the United States has pesticide residues, even after washing.

Environmental Action Group's annual analysis of USDA data says leafy greens like cabbage and spinach are among the most heavy-duty pesticides.

Over 92% of the turnips tested contained two or more pesticide residues, according to the analysis, and one sample of conventionally farmed turnips could contain up to 18 different pesticides.

While organic growers are often committed to the use of limited or no pesticides, they can - and often - use the pesticides permitted under the standards for the National Organic Program. Therefore, organic does not automatically mean free of pesticides.

Pesticides are not only dangerous to our bodies, but to the planet as well: run-off of pesticides from agriculture can pose significant risks to public health, food safety and the environment.

 best vertical farming experiences in the world The 4 Nutrients of Vegetables We Need: o

Green, leafy vegetables contain lots of nutrients that are important to maintain our health. And rich in C&A vitamins betacarotene, two essential nutrients found in large amounts in dark leafy greens.

1.

Lutein :

Lutein is a member of the carotenoid family, just like betacarotene (the vegetable form of vitamin A). Along with another compound called zeaxanthin, lutein is the macular pigment, which means that it lives in our eyes and acts as a major protector from sun damage, preventing chronic eye diseases like cataracts. Dark leafy vegetables are an excellent source of both lutein and zeaxanthin

2.

Folate :

Dark leafy greens and lettuce are good sources of folate. A member of the B family of vitamins, Folate plays a wide range of important roles in our bodies, including DNA production and the growth of healthy cells. Folic acid deficiency may lead to neural tube defects in newborns, so it is especially important for pregnant or breastfeeding women to consume folic acid.

Folate occurs naturally in beef liver, beans, and leafy greens, but many grain and cereal products are also fortified with folate. Dream Greens are good sources of folic acid everywhere, especially Kale which will get you a whopping 30% of your daily folate needs!

3.

Magnesium : Although it is a simple mineral, magnesium is a star nutrient with hundreds of functions in our bodies. Some of its main activities include making sure that our muscles and nerves are working properly, while maintaining our blood sugar and blood pressure, and even keeping our hearts beat in the correct rhythm. In recent years, soil quality has declined worldwide, which has directly affected the presence of magnesium in our food supply. "The way we grow ensures our vegetables get the ideal amount of vitamins and minerals like magnesium throughout the year."

Sulforophan :

Sulforaphan is a phytochemical that has recently garnered a lot of attention from medical researchers for its biological activity, including antioxidants, antimicrobials, anti-aging, and potential antiinflammatories. It has also been found to be a very promising chemo protective agent against a variety of cancers as well as against cardiovascular, neurodegenerative and diabetic diseases. The good news is that sulfurophan is found in most types of cruciferous vegetables including Baby Kale, Baby Pac Choi, Baby Watercress, and Baby Super Mix, and in higher concentrations in smaller greens like Micro Super Mix, which include Kale, Red Cabbage, and Buck Choy Microgreens. Eat raw vegetables to get maximum Sulforaphane content,

 Patents The equipment used to manufacture the growing apparatus, the growing method and apparatus, the harvesting and cleaning apparatus, are protected by pending patents and grants in the United States and elsewhere. Marks are placed on virtual patents of the US Invention Act. CEO David Rosenberg says the giant Newark facility is just the beginning He told the Huffington Post: "Our mission is to build farms in cities all over the world."

This cold, landlocked city will enable it to provide locally grown produce for its residents all year round.

The developers made sure to plan to grow only products that are currently imported so they don't compete with local farms, but rather support local businesses by saving on transportation costs.

The city is located one mile above sea level and is covered with snow for several months, and vertical farming techniques will enable this city to produce a very large amount of fresh produce and provide residents with a locally grown alternative that Jackson's climate previously prevented because it was forced to import much of its food.

The building's 150-foot greenhouse facade improves the potential of natural light, improving photosynthesis and reducing the facility's energy costs. There will be times when artificial light is required - for example, it is impossible to grow tomatoes during a freezing winter on natural light alone - and thus planting lights will be installed in order to ensure the farm meets production goals.

This structure consists of a multi-faceted landscape meandering along the Hudson River, rising across a network of steep paths and featured in a series of iconic towers that include vertical water parks.

60

 best vertical farming experiences in the world Public spaces are available from the waterfront of the Hudson River to the soaring Harlem neighborhood, but its towers are a step beyond that. These vertical hydroponic farms enhance the project and bring environmental, agricultural and economic vitality to the project and the neighborhood, providing a link to the emerging urban agriculture market.

Thus, Sym.bio.pia is simultaneously seen as an iconic urban agricultural structure providing public access to Harlem's waterfront, and a replicable component of a sustainable, citywide economic network and nutrition along New York City's waterfront.

Each constellation operates in a symbiotic relationship with its aquatic crops.

Collecting graywater from mixed-use areas irrigates crops, which filters the water for reuse. Inedible plant material is converted into compost; The heat produced by this process is converted into energy to help run the building's activities. Additionally, the entire Sym.bio.pia anchors a complex community network including Hudson, Harlem, and other waterfront neighborhoods with their own iterations of this project.

technologies, rice can be grown compactly with minimal water while creating jobs and supplying food for the area.

With over 3 billion people around the globe relying on rice as their major food staple, there is high demand not only for the grain, but also the land on which to grow it. The Philippines is one of many countries that struggles to maintain food production while devoting land for housing and other industries. A solution, proposed by Jin Ho Kim, however, would see the construction of vertical farms expressly designed for the cultivation of rice. Using aeroponic growing The Aeroponic Vertical Farm is made up of an array of bamboo parallelograms that are formed to create stepped terraces of rice fields.

64

 best vertical farming experiences in the world Located in cities, these compact farms would not only help grow rice for the area, but also create jobs and provide space for the community to gather and interact.

The farm makes use of aeroponic gardening, which is different than hydroponic in that is sprays water directly onto the roots of the plants. o o o

This greatly reduces the amount of water and energy needed for growing plants Water is pumped up to the highest tier and then gravity fed down to the rest of the plants.

The terraced facility also provides places for children to play, as well as a place for adults to meet and socialize.

Vertical Farm in San Diego-Brandon Martella California may be one of the major produce growers in the US, but a lot of that food is consumed within the state - the 30,000+ residents of the urban core of San Diego alone eat 21,231,000 lbs of produce each year. To address the daunting issue of future food 65

 best vertical farming experiences in the world production, Southern California designer Brandon Martella has designed a vertical farm and residential tower for downtown San Diego. Situated right next to the convention center, Live Share Grow could provide up to 10% of the city's produce and enhance the community with vibrant live/work spaces. o

Live Share Grow is a proposal by Brandon Martella for a combo residential tower and vertical farm for downtown San Diego.

o

The multi-story tower is dual purpose one side is holds residential apartments in varying sizes, while the other is a largescale hydroponic vertical farm.

o

Located in a popular area amidst other residential towers, offices, tourist attractions and very close to the bay, Live Share Grow would aste, grey water and black water can all be redeemed through recycling, grey water infused aquaponics, and black water compact combustion to create thermal energy.

The tower would also provide new opportunities for education, commerce and healthy living.

The reason for choosing the case study o o o

Because it meets the standards required to build these types of towers.

Its location is within high-rise towers and in the center of the densely populated city.

Vertical structures that provide food, save the earth and simultaneously act as a magnet for biodiversity and keep away from soil damage and erosion.

o

It added the entertainment, educational and cultural aspect to the people of the Hong Kong region, as it is an outlet for the people of the region.

o

Because it contains a structural structure suitable for high altitudes as lightweight and recyclable materials.

o

Its structural structure contains the necessary treatments that support the passive design of the building.

70

Hong Kong Vertical farm

o

Provide 360-degree viewing platforms and new survey areas on farming techniques

o

The important hydroponic technology of our time is used to grow food by a series of vertical processes and interconnected structures

o

Its architectural design inspired

by Chinese rural transformation terraces (paddy fields) and the introduction of environmental treatments of moving earth panels to allow natural light to enter and integrate into rural areas

Project goals o

Re-introduction of urban agriculture Hydroponics technology is used in the suburbs of growing cities through a series of vertical processes and interconnected structures containing laboratories, research centers and healthy food processing

o

Feeding all surrounding areas and reducing the need for traditional agriculture by vertical orientation and avoiding soil damage and erosion

o

Bringing educational and recreational places to create job opportunities for the local population

Civilization developed with agriculture Places that allow the distribution of traditional agriculture in China •

China can cultivate only 15 percent of the total land area, which is 10 percent of the world's arable land

71

Hong Kong Vertical farm Vertical Farming Tower - Hong Kong These vertical towers contain structural systems, light and moving earth panels to allow in natural light and integrate into rural areas and which contain recycled metal materials build up.

About the project : The Spanish company JABA proposed building a vertical farm through vital vertical networks built from lightweight minerals, enabling farmers to produce crops throughout the year and support the local economy and be in city centers and close to the market due to the exposure of China and the whole world to many factors, including: o

It provides little arable land even though China supports 20% of the world's population through food production.

o

The population of the world continues to increase dramatically, and this is at the expense of agricultural lands and will continue to destroy the area per square kilometer.

The farm is inspired by the graded rice cultivation techniques in China Structures for growing food, 187.50 meters in length, compared to 31 floors, with a height of 6 meters for the floor

72

Hong Kong Vertical farm Vertical Farming Tower - Hong Kong •

Built of lightweight metals close to dense urban residents to

provide proximity to where to buy and eat, which in turn reduces transportation miles, energy and the carbon footprint of the food produced.  The series of graded plots used in rice cultivation in the traditional way is expressed through the vertical, tiered and vertically stacked structures.  Crops are rotated throughout the year according to the season and circular levels are rotated to allow the plants to receive the right amount of sunlight The farm is located in Tai Po, the second largest administrative district in Hong Kong and the land is divided into about 200 million households with an average land allocation of only 0.65 hectares (1.6 acres).

Site selection: China's limited cultivation area has been a problem throughout its history, resulting in chronic food shortages. Whereas production efficiency on agricultural lands has grown over time, as the lands of western and northern China have suffered from cold and drought.

Since the 1950s, farm space has come under pressure due to the increasing land needs of industry and cities.

Tai Po, with an area of about 14,800 hectares in the northeast of the New Territories, is the second largest administrative district in Hong Kong, and this

73

Hong Kong Vertical farm

site was chosen because it is close to the high-rise developments of the Kowloon and Hong Kong regions. It is also a positive aspect of the proposed infrastructure for the production of food miles Lowland that can feed city dwellers (near urban centers). The proposal deals with the development of modern, efficient and environmentally acceptable agricultural structures, and we foresee a paradigm shift to vertical agricultural structures that can be integrated into a regional network across the country.

It is a series of high-rise towers located on the outskirts of the district that provide opportunities that provide the nutritional needs of the city.

o

Structures: Made of lightweight and high tensile materials using the largest possible number of recyclable resources.

o

Changing floors in structure, inspired by traditional rice farms in China, Each ring of a building can change its position to suit the plants better, by making them receive the most sunlight or moisture.

o

System used: Hydroponics to grow produce, with little or no soil .

o

Laboratories: to better monitor the growth and nutritional value of crops.

o

Visitors can also enter the building to increase their awareness and to enable them to learn more about local agriculture and see the 360degree panoramic views offered by each platform.

New York vertical farm Experimental cultivation It is a farm used to conduct research in agricultural sciences.

The goal: to provide a place that can be used to test new ideas and technologies before asking the agricultural community and to consider adopting these technologies and testing new crops such as hybrids and genetically modified crops before launching them to the public, taking into account the development of strong and high-yielding crops.

Agricultural equipment, chemicals and new agricultural technologies are being tested, with various tests being conducted on crops of interest in different areas of the farm.

Industrial agriculture Industrial agriculture refers to the process of mechanizing the cultivation, harvesting and processing of food. It includes innovation in agricultural machinery and farming methods, genetic technology, and technologies of achieving economies of scale in production

CHAPTER FOUR

2.1 General information about Jordan…………………………….

The city of Amman It is considered one of the oldest inhabited cities in the world. It was built on the ruins of a city known as "Rabat Ammon", then "Philadelphi" and then "Amman", derived from the "Goddess of Ammon" The city is established on seven hills Amman expanded in a way that the city had never seen before. The Amman Inclusive City Plan won international awards, including the Global Leadership Award in City Planning and the 2007 Asian City Award The number of administrative regions in the Amman Municipality is 22, and in terms of administration there is the Greater Amman Municipality Council, which includes 68 members headed by the Mayor of the Capital.

Landforms Amman mainly extends over twenty mountains, most of which are now within East Amman The northern region consists of several somewhat undulating mountains, as in Al-Jubaiha, Shafa Badran and Abu Naseer The central region intersects the valleys with the stream of Oman, steep valleys such as Wadi Abdoun, Wadi Saqra and Wadi Al Haddadah The western region extends on the side of the Jordan Valley, and exceeds 1000 meters in height, as in Tla 'Al-Ali, Shmeisani and Sweileh The eastern and southeastern region, characterized by its undulating surface, is considered an arid desert land extending into the Jordanian desert, as well as in southern Marka and Qweismeh.

Neighboring cities Amman is divided into two main parts: East Amman, which is the oldest part of the city.

West Amman, which is the newest part of the city.

Western Amman has grown rapidly in the last two decades as entire neighborhoods have emerged. The Amman Municipality is trying to establish ambitious development projects in East Amman during the current period

Green cover The terrain varies in rural Amman, including: plains, high mountains, and valleys Distribution of tourist places in Amman :

142

Green cover Downtown Amman is devoid of forests, except for some places Transportation and communications Express Bus Project (BRT) The idea of the express bus line depends on allocating lanes for the movement of public transport buses, and other vehicles are prohibited from using these lanes. Thus, large numbers of people can be transported through these routes quickly and easily. The transport capacity for each lane can reach about 40,000 passengers per hour in each direction, in addition to the fact that the cost of building the lines is very acceptable and does not exceed 5% of the cost of building a railway-based transportation system.

There are two large bus complexes in the city, which are the North Bus Complex and the Southern Complex.

Urban planning The city followed its haphazard growth The growth was around the core of the Husseini Mosque and the commercial area extending from Ras al-Ain to the site of the National Library (the headquarters of the old Amman Municipality) and on both sides of Wadi Sail Amman. The growth process was random. The city’s growth came in the form of sudden convulsions resulting from political factors that the region went through.

The first expansion

The second expansion

143

Zones constellations

The areas of the towers have recently been identified with only four areas: the new commercial center of the Abdali area, the center of main road intersections (along the Wadi Abdoun Corridor), the northern Amman Gate (located in Jubaiha along Jordan Street), and the southern Amman Gate (the adjacent area in terms of Eastern Road to the airport and surrounded by the ring road of Wadi Abdoun).

Urban fabric The housing sectors A, B, and C are distributed in the western part, such as Shmeisani, Sports City, Jabal Amman, Abdoun and Deir Ghbar.

The housing sectors C and D are distributed in the eastern and southwestern regions, such as Jabal Al-Qusour, Al-Hashemi, Al-Qalaa, AlJoufeh, Marka, Al-Ashrafiya, and Nazzal.

Architectural identity Oman is characterized by the use of stone as a main part that supports the facades of the building on all four sides West Amman, with the beauty of architecture, the quality of services, and the spread of five-star hotels and most of the ministries established on distinct foundations and standards in architecture and construction Architecture in Jordan has been influenced by the cultural heritage of Amman, by Islamic, Roman and Greek architecture Some architects assert that Islamic art is a goal and a wish for them Engineers are faulty for some buildings, which they call assembly buildings, in which the design bears the characteristics of western architecture With zone designs Without taking into account the architectural character that characterizes the region, its history, and other cultural and civilizational considerations Some of them design a building whose façades carry more than one culture and heritage, which the engineers called "the dazzling style" and devoid of content, legacy and engineering failure, and they mentioned a number of these models in various places in Amman. The engineers did

144

not deny the need sometimes to include some modern materials for construction, such as glass and sheet metal, within a thoughtful design that takes into account the development of Arab architecture, indicating that this overlap is required and unacceptable.

The University of Jordan Library, 1962, is an example of the international style in the city's modernist architecture.

Town centre

The new city center The Abdali Project, or the Abdali District Development Project, was started in 2005 and is expected to be completed in 2010.

The directions were to take the Abdali project as a new city center for the city of Amman, and it would become the new heart and center of Amman. The project is based on a land area of ​804 square kilometers, of a built area of ​more than 1.7 million square meters, which includes residential complexes, offices, hotels, serviced apartments, shops, and entertainment centers; Thus, it will become the hub of business and housing in the Jordanian capital, Amman.

Al Abdali has been developed as a smart city center that brings together the media and communication infrastructure, ensuring the delivery of the most advanced technologies to every home, office and shop, while general energy solutions and central gas systems are available to ensure a safe and friendly environment as well as significant savings in the energy bill. . The city center will be fully equipped with technologically advanced building management, fire protection, safety management and backup systems. The Abdali Development Project contributed to creating excellent road networks and traffic solutions around and within the project, ensuring smooth flow for about 90,000 people a day, including residents, workers and visitors, when the project is fully operational.

145

The capital of Arab and Islamic culture

Amman embraces local and Arab activities and festivals, since it was declared the capital of Arab culture in 2002. On the other hand, Amman was declared in 2017 the capital of Islamic culture for the Arab region.

Amman has a large number of galleries, fine arts centers, and several popular markets in Downtown, Jabal Amman, and Jabal Al-Weibdeh.

Downtown Amman The Ras Al-Ain region includes many cultural facilities, including the AlNurain Mosque, the Fountains Square, the Palm Square, then the City Hall, the Greater Amman Municipality and the end of the Al-Hussein Cultural Center.

This area includes the Jordan Museum, Al-Hussein Cultural Center Theater, the National Institute of Music, in addition to the popular crafts market. It was also planned to implement an opera house project, which is the King Abdullah II House for Culture and Arts, but it was stopped and it was transformed into a popular market in 2014.

Also in Jabal Amman, there is a market specialized in crafts and popular culture, called Jara Market It is very popular with tourists during the summer.

Economy Today, Amman is considered the center of economic life in Jordan, whose economy flourished with the return of capital and investors from Kuwait and the Gulf in 1990, as development plans began to find their way in the city from the establishment of many projects. The city's economy depends on the construction, banking, insurance and trade sectors, and largely on the tourism and hotel sector, in addition to food, light and medium industries.

Many citizens of the Arab Gulf states and large wealthy Arabs own real estate and businesses in West Amman

146

market Amman contains several old markets: sugar, Bukhari, Friday, Wadi Al-Sorour, vegetables, Yemeni, grain, halal, goldsmiths, happiness, antiques, modern construction, in addition to modern shopping centers, and the spread of stalls in the streets of the markets remains present.

tourism Oman is witnessing a significant increase in the number of tourists due to the mild Mediterranean climate Among the forms of tourism: cultural festivals and artistic activities, restaurants (especially those located on the outskirts of the capital and outside it in the midst of forests and woodland trees such as the Ajloun Mountains, Debbine and Pomegranate Heights), the Roman amphitheater, Amman Citadel and Ammonite cabbage stoning, crafts markets, large shopping centers, sports clubs, horseback riding, swimming and clubs Health, recreational cities, parks and public parks Among the most important areas that tourists visit: Thaqafa Street, Abdoun, Wakalat Street, Sweifieh Market, Rabieh Market, Mecca Street, Medina Street, University of Jordan Street, Jabal Al Weibdeh Street, Rainbow Street, Jabal Al Hussein Market, Umm Uthaina Market, and the downtown areas where the tourist sees many restaurants in it

Scientific Research Amman contains many ancient centers in the field of scientific research in all its branches, such as: the Royal Scientific Society specialized in scientific and technological development, the Jordanian Royal Geographical Center specialized in surveying sciences and maps, and there are many societies interested in medicine, energy, engineering and the arts.

Farming Oman was famous for its many grains, especially wheat, and it was described as the mineral of grains, good fat sheep and delicious honey, and grape vines spread around it and made raisins, and it was famous for its many fig trees, among which they made cotton, dried figs, and it was also famous for many fruits and oak trees. It is 148 used in the treatment of people, such as pain in the liver, kidneys, and colic

Farming The Balqa region was described in the Middle Ages as containing villages and farms, and its land is Zakia Taiba, and Jadia (one of the Balqa villages) was famous for cultivating saffron - Al Wars.

One of the popular vegetable markets in Amman called “Hisba”.

Problems The high cost The city of Amman suffers from the continuous rise in prices. The report indicated that the Jordanian capital rose four ranks in the list of the most expensive cities in the cost of living to be ranked 48th in the world for the year 2015, Slums As a result: the unexpected increase in population, wars, random growth even in highend neighborhoods as a result of randomly dividing plots, the spread of a number of housing units in an ill-considered manner and their extension in unorganized directions, which leads to randomness in services, little green areas in relation to buildings, the spread of housing, Limited public parks

Traffic crisis Caused by the increase in the city’s population as a result of asylum and the return of expatriates, which in turn affected the road network The city suffers from a lack of future planning for its streets 1 Most roads are not expandable 2 Government reluctance to find solutions to the problem Poor distribution of services Amman suffers from the multiplicity of life and urban patterns among its neighborhoods Oman is divided into two halves The first part, West Amman, is for the affluent 149 The second part, East Amman, for the disadvantaged poor

2.2 Organic farming in the capital, Amman………………………

Case studies Planting the roof of the Belgian ambassador's house in Abdoun Ten units are made of lacquered wood and include built-in seating and lighting. In addition to using (pumice stone), the beds are planted with vegetables, herbs and some ornamental plants.

Green Center: Green Hub The Landmark Hotel The hotel's restaurant is provided with plants It is a pilot project that provides a model of what can be accomplished in the near future in terms of urban agriculture in the context of Oman

An experimental laboratory for agricultural research An experimental laboratory for urban agricultural research. It includes a dome of geodesic greenhouses of 78 square meters, which includes 45 square meters of growing surfaces for the aquatic, hydrophonic, aerobic and hydroponic systems. It also contains very small hydroponic groups, and they've installed a compost bin on the roof. As for fish, they harvest 150 kg of fish every year. The plant hydrophobic system uses fish waste to provide organic fertilizer for the plants. The approximate cost of building and equipping the dome was 7,000 Jordanian dinars.

Jad knowledge and culture: Located along one of the public stairs that connects the downtown area to Jabal Al Weibdeh, he has a rooftop

150

garden planted with products connected to his café. Its cost is 2,500 Jordanian dinars It includes two farming systems 1- To cultivate the soil, (contains a fertilizer basket) 2- For hydroponic methods

Schools The private school in Dabouq - Amman Building a greenhouse on the roof that occupies an area of ​approximately 78 square meters as an educational tool that tells students to grow food crops. The greenhouse has been designed and installed by sustainable development and includes three large growing families. The family uses an aquaponic growth system filled with pumice stone and water flows through it through the energy provided by the mechanical pump. Students of different age groups were participating in the growing process, from planting to harvesting, under the supervision of Qais Al-Hanti, who works as a biology teacher in the school. There are also suggestions. To expand the project to include unused building terraces

Planted: tomatoes, cucumbers, paprika, lettuce and herbs in it

King's Academy School: The private school outside the city of Madaba We bought hangars (containers) length of 40 feet occupying an area of 30 square meters) containing a closed loop hydroponic irrigation system, LED lighting, and systems to control temperature, The first example of computerized container cultivation, which is planned to be used in Jordan, contains 256 "planting poles". Two or four tons of green leafy products may be produced each year using less than nineteen liters of water per day. The school will use the container farm for the educational part and to produce materials for its cafeteria kitchen

151

Organic farming in the capital, Amman Community markets Noor Al-Baraka Market Noor Al-Baraka Market Saturday, run by the non-profit organization Noor Al-Baraka: The organization serves children and adults with special needs, as it fully understands the therapeutic value of agriculture and they are present every Saturday in Princess Iman Park, a public park in the Rabieh area in Amman that the organization uses for its activities They rent stalls to sell their crops in the Saturday market. The organization has also built facilities in the park that carry out various recreational and educational activities for people with special needs.

Sun Farmers Market Backed by the Jordan Investment Banking Bank It is organized weekly at the bank branch in Abdoun area in Amman. The market includes organic products grown by farmers in the Ajloun governorate in northern Jordan. In addition, farmers received some training from the Royal Society for the Conservation of Nature in order to cultivate organic products in cooperation with the Jordanian Organic Agriculture Association

2.2.1 Reasons for choosing the capital, Amman………………..

Get rid of pollutants Amman is the capital of the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan and is a destination that attracts many neighboring cities, villages, tourists and workers ...

Consequently, the formed crises are super, and the increase in the number of supercars, in turn, filled Oman with the severe substance that causes its smoke.

One of the studies states that one of the studies states that planted roofs with an area of 6 square meters remove the particulate matter caused by cars.

Access to clean food Organic products are not readily available in Jordan, so they can be supplied and exported.

Gathering communities and creating strong social bonds: In a number of cities in North America and Europe, for example, residents grow cuttings in communal vegetable gardens. These urban plans play the role of building local communities and forging strong bonds between their members.

Raising awareness of environmental considerations The number of parks in Amman is very limited even though the city of Amman is very densely populated, and the majority of these parks are located on the outskirts Amman also suffers from shrinking the green areas planted in Amman and being a densely populated point and building blocks Most of the population does not have experience with plants.

Hypothetical water types Green water: rainwater Blue Water: Surface or groundwater (used in production) that is no longer an ecosystem Gray water: It is the amount of water that is polluted during the production process.

(Contaminated)

The percentage of treated blue water that is used to irrigate vegetables and fruits is estimated at about 5- 15 million cubic meters in Amman, which is a significant percentage, the largest percentage in Mafraq and Ma'an.

Treated wastewater is (recycled blue water)  It is concentrated in the highlands and is able to continue producing rainwater

Volumes of virtual blue water used in the Kingdom's governorates to irrigate crops.

Highest usage In the desert and in the Jordan Valley

 The percentage of treated blue water exceeds the green water used in Amman, which in turn increases the depletion of energy used in treating it

154

Energy use is concentrated in recycling and treating hypothetical blue water while energy is not used in green water and as we know 97% of its energy is imported from neighboring countries and that these supplies come largely in the form of non-renewable fossil fuels and natural gas, volatile energy prices will always be behind Great influence on food production.

This would explain spending such a large percentage of Jordan's budget on energy resources, and most importantly, energy conservation and creating water resources and areas that need fewer resources

The figure shows the distribution of energy per cubic meter of water, and we note that the largest use of energy is the areas of recycled blue water use, and a high rate in Amman is estimated at about (5.01-12.50) kilowatt hours / cubic meter.

Limitless Towers

Limitless Tower Project: Planning for it began in July 2008 Project external structure: It consists of two thin high-rise towers consisting of 50 floors with a height of 200 meters on a rectangular floor plan. The buildings are tilted slightly in the longitudinal direction and are scheduled to be the tallest buildings in Jordan.

225,000 cubic meters of land has been cleared to build the massive foundations of the building.

Project planning and management: The exploration portion of the project is planned to be completed by Midsummer, 2009 The cost of the project : $ 300 million.

Project content: A historic and magnificent destination that combines luxurious and eco-friendly living with high-quality retail and leisure facilities, including outdoor green spaces - the hallmark of all developments without borders.

Sanaya Amman will include: more than 50 floors, with 500 apartments (1,2,3 bedrooms, in addition to lofts and penthouses) 10,000 square meters of retail and entertainment space, over five floors, 5,600 square meters of open green space, including A 1,000 square meter landscaped garden A shared open-air yard is the tallest suspended swimming pool in the world, connecting the two towers, 125 meters above Amman, and separate sky bridges, providing a pathway between wind-generating buildings and water recycling systems that will reduce consumption by 30 % Of parking is over 1000 vehicles

Excavations at the site led to the creation of a crater 124 meters long and 74 meters wide, dropping more than 40 meters below street level at its deepest. The work is nearly 70 percent complete, with 1,800 cubic meters of land being moved every day

The environmental aspect of the project: It was planned to be the first major environmental project in Jordan.

Bahaa Abu Hattab, Regional Director of Limitless in the Levant and Turkey, said: “Sanaya Oman sets new standards in creative architecture and sustainability: a historic destination that combines bold design and environmentally friendly systems that will make it the first green building in Jordan. The development will use energy generation and water recycling systems. Generated by the wind, which will reduce consumption by 30 percent .. In addition to energy-saving glass, sensor lamps, central air conditioning and waste management systems, it will reduce costs by two million dollars.

The company will finance the project at about 70 percent of its $ 300 million cost. " Abu Hatab emphasized that the global crisis affected the company's projects in general It is noteworthy that Limitless specializes in developing outstanding and sustainable urban projects.

2.3.10 THE ECONOMIC SIDE ……………………………………………..

The economic benefits of urban agriculture Family level: Through urban farming, participants produce food that has market value. Urban agriculture also provides the added advantage that producer and consumer can be one and another. Moreover, urban agriculture does not exclude the possibility of product barter Commercial level (supply to hotels, markets, etc.): We believe that urban agriculture may provide significant economic opportunities at the commercial rather than the household level.

The economic side 1- The initial capital costs of establishing such farms are naturally high (but it is okay if the project is adopted by the investment owners) 2- Operating costs associated primarily with providing artificial lighting that simulates sunlight, as well as temperature control features, are energy intensive, and therefore costly and potentially polluting.

(However, the rapid growth of renewable energy sources may provide a solution to this issue)

The cost of the project The cost was calculated based on what was estimated globally: $ 103,175 for the first year $ 427,088 for the second $ 450,274 for the third

o We notice that the cost in relation to energy decreases gradually from year to year until the project achieves its cost and produces its profits The cost of building a greenhouse in Jordan ranges from 3 to 55 Jordanian dinars / square meter

184

The cost of the project

The cost of building a greenhouse in Jordan ranges from 3 to 55 Jordanian dinars / square meter The economic feasibility lies in: 1- Growing leafy green leaves is the most commercially feasible because it brings high prices and requires less time than others to grow.

The project is located in Abdoun district in Zahran district The project will cover the entire Zahran area, which has an area of (13.8) km² and a population of (600,000) people A person’s portion is estimated at no less than 80 grams of vegetables and fruits per day, which is approximately 5 servings Farm production in grams = area population * individual share per person (1) = 600,000 * 80 gm = 48,000 g per day Farm production in quotas = population of the area * per capita (2) = 600,000 * 5 = 3,000 classes per day Department of Statistics

185

Economic analysis of the photovoltaic system in the Abdoun Valley

The economic aspects of all energy systems play and this includes the costs of its components, their installation, operation, and maintenance over their service life.

Solar systems are also characterized by high prices due to their high manufacturing costs and the form of panels cost about 60-40% of the system cost as a whole

In the Abdoun Valley region, the results of the benefit and compensation for the high cost of the energy system will appear after the tenth year of the system’s operational life.

2.3.11 CONCLOUSION…………………………………………………………

The current psychological effects of the site on humans: We cannot overlook that the chosen site is nothing but a cultural landmark and an urban façade for the region, which reflects the entire neighborhood as well as the philosophy of the citizens residing in the central part of Amman, represented in the northern part of the Abdoun area. Now, 12 years ago, the site still represents the Landmark in another way incurred by tension and depression. For the residents and passers-by by creating emotional and psychological reactions that do not need to be generated in areas overlooking the roads and highways and main streets to avoid reactions. What we see today is nothing but a deep hole for a trap for insects and waste.

186

Green spots: It was suggested that a lightweight green mass be placed to absorb the tension and anger of people in the last 12 years drum, due to the psychological behaviors it reflects after being received by the retina of the eye to dissolve the vision centers in the brain and return with positive effect, comfort, love, joy and joy On viewers that reflect positively on social and environmental behaviors Psychological effects of green: The green color is the color of green that God has covered the earth with trees and plants, and the color circle is in between the blue and yellow, so this location makes it fall between the calmness of the blue color and the heat of the yellow color. Therefore, if it became cold and a gradual towards blue, its role in summoning tranquility, calm and wisdom appeared, and if it increased warmth and a gradualness towards yellow, its effect appears in stimulating vitality and feelings of optimism and warmth, as it is a color that is comfortable for the eyes that can be easily accessed

Sign Language: The tower will express the musical language produced by the design idea and emphasize the musical link transmitted to the tower between the terraces and their views connected with the concerts held on the castle mountain that overlooks the site Sky line: The height determined for the tower is in line with the sky line on the hills adjacent to it and continues to overlook the hills of Oman and gradually moves in its levels until it reaches its middle level, so the user can feel within the highest point in the tower as if it simulates the natural level known to Oman on the side sides and exposes the entire Abdoun Valley From the bottom side (This addresses the feeling of fear and phobia from high places, especially in the permanent residential part)

187

Views: The panoramic view achieved through the soaring views corresponding to the hills and the seven mountains on which Oman is built generates energy and dynamism in the human psyche in addition to the visual and musical connections coming from the concerts at Mount Citadel.

Natural and climatic factors: The back slope towards the rise of the side hills can form a link between the levels around the project by creating pedestrian ramps to exploit the largest number of visitors to the project.

Also, we can take advantage of natural slope to create a pool well to treat its water and use it in agriculture Climatic aspect: the amount of solar radiation in the valley is higher than in the mountain because it is cut across longer distances, so we can save large amounts of solar radiation in that region and use it in solar power generation systems containing panels at the required angle In addition to exploiting the wind speed at the highest altitudes of the tower and establishing a miniature wind farm, as it is planned that the towers will be in a small area compared to the traditional heights, so that the wind movement will be strong and not affected by the windbreaks.

The functional aspect of the project The first significance here is to educate people and encourage them to accept products and dominate their minds, as it is the only and primary supportive decision to continue our work and its development. The exhibition will be adopted as the true core around which the project is wrapped to create the real experience and subject them to the experience of movement and place to deliver the desired goal and entice them to it.

1- Graduation and transition from the nucleus of the exhibition to the nucleus of operation and linking them in a gradual, sequential method

What happens in the growth stage: Techniques are found within the growth stages, so the plants are fed within the growth towers that contain different agricultural techniques with water spray and aerobic cultivation that takes place under the tissue.

The role of control means of equipment and sensors in this process: Al-Inma Towers are carefully monitored, knowing what is going on in each tower, monitoring development, and observing different variables through the containment of each technique on a computer that includes sensors and smart monitoring devices for complete control of lighting and spraying the roots with nutrients.

The appropriate of the feeders Hand-held computers are also available through a special application for remote monitoring, whether inside or outside the towers or within governorates and countries, and in this way the entire working unit communicates and understands what is happening at any time and under any circumstances.

The program and development algorithms were also developed to accelerate the growth process and obtain a better product as possible

7.

One of the factors that produce more effective photosynthesis is the replacement of the sun and wind with lighting and fans 8.

Fans: 9.

Offer plants exactly what they need 10. It works to stress the plants and strengthen them with some movement of the air so that the CO2 is provided to them in a distributed distribution and in a greater quantity than in open spaces

198

TECHNIQUES NFT Membrane Feeder System Algae removes and retains nutrients and micro-nutrients through purification processes BlackBox works principle: Spray feeding method: It is a method of introducing and distributing nutrients in the form of a spray to deliver limited droplets to the roots of the plant Which leads to enhancing the absorption rate of these droplets Micronutrients are constantly monitored

The sensor is placed between the lights to sense temperature, humidity and carbon dioxide

Aquaponic: The aquaponic system takes the aquatic system a step further, combining plants and fish in the same ecosystem.

• Fish are grown in indoor ponds, and they produce waste rich in nutrients that is used as a source of nutrition for plants in the vertical farm.

Plants, in turn, filter and purify wastewater that is recycled into fish tanks.

The shallow nutrient solution flows through the tubes.

The bare roots of plants absorb the nutrients in solutions when they come in contact with water.

The NFT system is similar to Ebb and Flow technology Both use water pumps to deliver nutrients to the plants. , NFT is a continuously flowing system. (Complete cycle) And simpler to build and easier to operate, It provides optimum conditions for plant growth

How does your fuel tank work?

The function of the tank is to protect the drain field or other components from clogging by the suspended solids in the wastewater.

Lighter solids like grease, oils, and toilet tissue form a scum layer.

Heavy solids and decomposing waste fall below to form a layer of sludge.

The solid outlet barrier and regular cleaning ensure a nominal amount of solids enter the drainage area.

Above is a cross section of the septic tank to be serviced based on the level of scum and sludge.

Above is a cross section of an overlooked tank. The sludge is able to move from the reservoir to the drainage field resulting in failure.

How does my drain field work?

Drainage fields are created in permeable soil.

Trenches are dug and filled with stone. The perforated tube is placed over the stone and then covered with a few inches of stone.

Geo fabric is used to cover the stone so that dirt and debris do not seep into the drainage field when backfilled.

The gray water leaves the reservoir, flows through the perforated tube, seeps through several feet of stone, and then flows through the soil that lies beneath the stone.

TECHNIQUES 6.1.9 DESIGN STANDARDS FOR THE TECHNIQUES …......

Tissue used: Recycle waste into a green spot of recycled plastic (300 plastic bottles of waste and turn it into a green agricultural spot) It is cleaned after harvest and used for several years

Lighting Design Standards

LED lights on the board and the intensity of the diodes. Complete Photoactive Radiation (PAR) outputs help define PAR values in determining the distance from the crop to which you should hang lights It is a measurement that determines the percentage of light coming through the lens

209

TECHNIQUES 6.1.10 GENERAL GROWING CONDITIONS…………………………

Lighting 8. What is the recommended height above the plants? The recommended height for seedlings and vegetables is 24 inches above the plants The recommended height for germination is 24-30 inches above the plants The recommended height for flowers is 12-18 inches above the plants 9. What is the recommended lighting time? The vegetative phase: 12-16 hours; Flowering stage, 8-12 hours Red light is very important for plant reproduction. Phytochromes absorb red and distant parts of the light spectrum and regulate seed germination, root development, tuber and bulb formation, lethargy, flowering, fruit and production Blue light stimulates more chlorophyll production than any other color, and encourages thick leaves, strong stems and compact vegetative growth.

2: What kind of plant can be grown with THC LEDs? All kinds of flowering plants: special indoor plants, tomato, pepper, eggplant.

Pink etc. All kinds of green vegetables: herbs and leafy greens, lettuce, bok choy, etc.

CHAPTER SEVEN

Concept 7.1 The philosophical concept of the design idea.........

Music and vegetation Plants are sensitive and equal organisms that need good treatment.

Plants and music are two sides of the same coin. Plants speak music just as they need it to strengthen and grow You also need love, patience, and music

The reason for the Concept test The secret of the musical energy inherent in the plant is to hear and communicate it to the visitors that it expresses Strengthening our relationship with nature and caring for our environment Also trying Unify the greater relationship between humans and nature

An auto-generated musical experimental project by plant life systems

Transforming plant And letting plant music speak to visitors in energy into musical conversations that stimulate the human symbols and tunes mind so that it can rethink to build its relationship with nature - and music plays its role here in the galleries.

Also, our music here travels through the outlets of the tower to form a musical link and meet with the concerts held inside the thresholds and stones of history in the castle mountain and what he witnessed and followed him in terms of singing and playing, being one of the most important views of the project

225

Concept

The plant here is exposed to music twice a week

The plant was not exposed to music during the growing period

This technology unleashes silent seedlings as their own vocal release Turning the garden into an organic medium of music is very impressive and beautiful.

Musical notes are extracted from the plant by: Connecting electrodes to leafy ends, the plant emits vital electrical emissions that flow through wires to a programmatic device that translates the charges and absorbs the small voltage through its software, and converts the data into ambient melodies and harmonic frequencies.

These melodies released are nothing but an ambassador for renewable energy, so the plants quench their fresh music to reach our goal of Strengthening our relationship with nature and caring for our environment It also tries to unify the greater relationship between humans and nature
