Future Plans
MII seeks to produce food, power and employment through the development of sound environmentally friendly “green” technologies that one day will revolutionize the aquaculture, horticulture greenhouse industry.
MII’s long term goal is to provide resources to advance the research and development of Solar and Hydrogen technologies through the use of its facilities to outside research institutes. Our objective is to create six prototype facilities located in the western half of U.S. that would be conducive to any culture or region in the world to produce food, power and employment to help meet the needs of their economy.
Because of the vast amount of available sun and rooftop acreage the development of many new technologies are on the horizon and already being discussed. With a facility of this size and nature many research projects could be conducted simultaneously. In addition to “green” technology studies, the study of horticulture and aquaculture sciences could continue to advance for years to benefit the health and production of food crops.
Future expansion of product lines to include: different species of fish, shrimp and tomatoes, other vegetables, and the possibility of including medicinal plants and herbal supplements, along with the development of renewable power sources for electrical power generation.
