Innoko: Strengthening small-scale farms through efficiency and resilience
Abstract/Contents
- Abstract
- Innoko is a system that harnesses the thermal energy of composting to allow year-round indoor farming using a fraction of the land, water, and fuel compared to the traditional methods of farming. It contains three subsystems: first, a barn, where cows are stationed; second, a composting station, where manure it’s deposited after it has been recollected from the barn and it would be used to harness its thermal energy to produce heat; and last, a greenhouse, which would benefit from the heat acquired in the composting station. The system altogether helps the Swedish farmer by enabling them to grow cow feed in the greenhouse regardless of the weather conditions outside by relying on manure-based heating, and it frees up land normally used for cow feed which now can be used for other purposes.
