[:] Agriculture reform [:]

We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we used when we created them

— Albert Einstein

Greetings from Finland, where the future of agriculture reform lies in the remarkable potential of spirulina microalgae!

TL;DR:

Here are the key benefits of this agricultural reform:

• A substantial 90% decrease in ammonia emissions in Finland, with similar results expected in other countries.
• Significant reduction in CO2 emissions in the agriculture sector, amounting to approximately 10% of the total CO2 produced by the transportation sector.
• Decreased methane production from cows and minimized nutrient runoff from fertilizers.
• Introduction of decentralized electricity production through a new-generation wood gas generator that emits no carbon dioxide or particulate matter. Farmers can supply excess electricity to the national power grid and earn income from it.

These remarkable effects make it fitting to confidently label this initiative as an agricultural reform. The blog also highlights additional innovations in the field.

In the pursuit of climate-wise business practices, it is important to recognize that wealth does not inherently generate wealth. In reality, the ultimate source of prosperity lies in food production.

Today, we stand on the cusp of a breakthrough, finally harnessing the full potential of microalgae—a goal that has captivated scientists since the establishment of the first large-scale production facilities in the 1960s.

Spirulina demonstrates exceptional growth capabilities, with the ability to multiply its biomass up to fourfold in a single day. This rapid growth rate surpasses that of most plants, making Spirulina an efficient biomass producer. Its accelerated growth potential presents an opportunity for sustainable resource utilization and enhanced productivity in agricultural systems.

Spirulina boasts a distinctive nutritional profile, surpassing conventional plant-based sources such as soybeans. It contains approximately twice the protein content of soybeans and offers a broader spectrum of biocomponents, including phycocyanin, DHA (docosahexaenoic acid), EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid), and GLA (gamma-linolenic acid). These biocomponents contribute to Spirulina’s nutritional richness and provide additional health benefits.

Although Spirulina is considered a microorganism, its growth rate may not be as fast as certain bacterial species like Vibrio natriegens, which can double their population within approximately 10 minutes. However, Spirulina’s growth rate is still significantly faster than most plants, allowing for rapid biomass production and efficient resource utilization in agricultural systems.

In Finland, we are embarking on an ecological revolution in agriculture by replacing genetically modified organism (GMO) soybean with sustainable Spirulina. Currently, the import of GMO soybean into Finland continues to rise steadily, with the import volume reaching over 260 million kilograms in 2022.

Allow me to summarize this intricate journey concisely, with the assistance of my loyal companion, Chat-GPT.

Fifteen years ago, I embarked on a journey as an inventor, focusing initially on prototypes involving magnetic bearings and LED technology. However, around a decade ago, my attention shifted towards the study of microalgae. After years of dedicated research, I reached a point where I felt confident in my understanding and promptly imported my first batch of microalgae from America, embarking on the cultivation and testing of these groundbreaking innovations. I gave this project a name: Bonsai Ecosystem (Boneco).

As an inventor, I consciously chose not to seek patents or protection for my discoveries. In our world on the brink of collapse, it is imperative that we transcend the pursuit of personal gain and financial success. Mainstream media predominantly fixates on the issues of methane and CO2 emissions, yet the problems we face are far more complex. It would be misguided to assume that the solution lies in completely abandoning traditional agriculture and adopting unconventional diets or solely relying on electric vehicles.

In Ireland, for instance, the government is contemplating legislation mandating the culling of 10% of the cow population as a climate-saving measure. This is merely the initial step on a path where beef prices will skyrocket, eventually surpassing the cost of rare and coveted wines.

While I remain hopeful for collaboration anywhere on this planet, I must express my disappointment with the current situation in Finland. Unfortunately, the circumstances here do not foster the development of green technologies like mine. Despite reaching out to numerous individuals in both the private and public sectors, I have encountered nothing but hollow words of encouragement and mere gestures of approval.

The government’s assistance, albeit limited, came in the form of a letter of recommendation from Luke (Natural Resources Institute Finland) experts. They suggested that funding should be provided to support the development of a pilot-scale system for my project.

On my project’s previous website, you will find an extensive list of sponsors, including prominent entities like the Finnish government’s Vapo (now renamed Neova). Regrettably, their support extended only as far as providing peat for the project. This disillusionment has cast a shadow over my perception of Finland, a country renowned for its achievements and standing in the world.

Only a few sponsors contributed a significant amount of funding, earning them the title of ‘honour sponsor.’ However, the combined contributions were still insufficient to finance the construction of a pilot scale facility.

It is disheartening to observe that both governments and major players such as Neste, with whom I had several Teams meetings in 2020, seem to prioritize greenwashing over actively addressing the urgent global issues related to ecosystems and climate. If these influential entities were to collaborate, we could currently be celebrating a significant step towards healing the planet. Unfortunately, it appears that the larger mission of finding sustainable solutions for these global problems is not a priority for them.

Believe me, over the past 8 years, I have made extensive efforts to reach out to various entities in Finland. I have sent thousands of emails and made countless phone calls. Even the leader of WWF in Finland personally informed me that this particular project does not align with their strategic focus. While it was a rare occasion to receive a direct response, most of the time, I have been ignored along with my project.

Last year, I established a non-profit organization called Tulevaisuusopisto ry (Academy of the Future). On our YouTube channel, you can witness the various stages of the project’s development.

Should you wish to contribute to this endeavor, I will create a sponsor list for the English version of the website. Please do not hesitate to contact me so that I may include your company’s name among our esteemed supporters.

Now, let us delve into the summary extracted from Chat-GPT. Additionally, I will provide an image of the system’s process, which I intend to translate into English in due time, as it remains a work in progress even in its Finnish form.

Yours truly,

3. Using Spirulina as Feed for Cows and in Farming Fields as Fertilizer:
Spirulina, a nutrient-rich microalgae, holds great potential as a feed source for cows and as a natural fertilizer for farming fields. This section explores the benefits and applications of utilizing spirulina in agriculture.

Using Spirulina as Feed for Cows and in Farming Fields as Fertilizer

Agriculture reform plays a crucial role in addressing environmental challenges and promoting sustainable practices. One such innovation is the integration of spirulina and closed-loop compost systems, which offer multiple benefits for the environment, farmers, and the overall ecosystem.

The cultivation of prebiotic spirulina, a nutrient-rich microalgae, presents a unique opportunity to reduce methane emissions from cows. By incorporating spirulina into their diet, cows produce less methane, a potent greenhouse gas. This not only contributes to mitigating climate change but also helps in preserving air quality and reducing the ecological footprint of livestock farming.

Spirulina exhibits an optimal pH range of 9-10, while other microalgae tend to thrive at a neutral pH of 7. This unique characteristic of spirulina provides significant advantages in terms of microbiological safety due to the inhibitory effect of high pH on pathogen multiplication. As a result, spirulina, a type of blue-green algae, stands out as the most beneficial microalgae. Furthermore, spirulina contains essential fatty acids such as EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) and DHA (docosahexaenoic acid), which are typically found in fish oil. Additionally, spirulina also contains GLA (gamma-linolenic acid), a component that is abundant in breast milk but absent in fish oil.

The implementation of closed-loop compost systems brings significant advantages. Traditionally, raw manure application to fields releases ammonia and CO2 into the atmosphere. However, with closed-loop composting, organic waste is converted into nutrient-rich compost, which can be used as a natural fertilizer. This eliminates the release of harmful gases, such as ammonia and CO2, resulting in improved air quality and reduced greenhouse gas emissions.

Furthermore, closed-loop composting helps prevent nutrient runoff into water bodies. Excessive use of chemical fertilizers often leads to nutrient leaching, causing water pollution and harmful algal blooms. By optimizing nutrient utilization through spirulina cultivation and efficient composting, plants can uptake nutrients more effectively, minimizing the need for excessive fertilizers. This not only safeguards water quality but also promotes cost savings for farmers.

The integration of spirulina and closed-loop compost systems in agriculture reform offers a holistic approach to address methane emissions, reduce greenhouse gas emissions, improve air and water quality, and enhance nutrient utilization efficiency. It is a multiple win-win solution that benefits the environment, farmers, and the overall sustainability of our agricultural practices.

When ammonia is released to the atmosphere, it can react with other compounds to form nitrous oxide, a potent greenhouse gas that contributes to climate change.

Note: nitrous dioxide has CO2 equivalent of about 300 and lifeage on atmosphere about 100 years, also it destroys ozone, so it is maybe the worst gas for the climate and planet, as for comparison the methane has only CO2 equivalent of 25 and lifeage on atmosphere only 12 years also methane is a part of forming new ozone.

By composting manure in a reactor and capturing the gases that are released, the closed loop system can significantly reduce the amount of ammonia that is released to the atmosphere. This reduction in atmospheric ammonia can help to improve air quality and reduce the formation of harmful particles.

Note: if every farmer on Finland would join the agriculture reform, we could cut off 90% of Finlands ammonia releases and 10% amount of CO2 compared to what all traffic produces on atmosphere every year. The numbers would be similar globally.

Using spirulina as a fertilizer will reduce the amount of synthetic fertilizer that is applied to the fields. This, in turn, will reduce the amount of nutrients that leach into nearby water bodies and contribute to eutrophication (excessive nutrient enrichment) of those waters. Furthermore, spirulina can absorb and remove nutrients from wastewater and agricultural runoff, which can help to improve water quality.

Note: adding apirulina on hydroponics will increase the yield as the plants can take more effectively the nutrients, the mechanisms based on the positive effect on the microbes that work symbiotic with plants roots. This is called “biostimulation” as spirulina isnt really a fertilizer in terms of NPK, yet it does offer some fertilizer value also and especially micronutrients.

The effect of flashing LED lights on the growth of microalgae is based on the phenomenon called “light-dark cycles” or “light-dark regime”. Microalgae require light for photosynthesis, which is the process through which they produce organic compounds and oxygen from carbon dioxide and water. However, if the light intensity is too high or constant, it can lead to photoinhibition, a condition in which the photosynthetic machinery is damaged, and the microalgae growth is reduced.

By using flashing LED lights with a duty cycle of 10%, the microalgae are exposed to short pulses of light, followed by periods of darkness. This type of light-dark regime can help to avoid photoinhibition and increase microalgae growth. Additionally, the flashing light creates a turbulent flow within the photobioreactor, which enhances the mass transfer of nutrients and gases to the microalgae cells, further improving their growth.

Overall, using flashing LED lights with a duty cycle of 10% can increase the efficiency and productivity of the photobioreactor, as well as optimize the growth conditions for the microalgae.

Note: also, as we flash the LEDs, they act on certain low voltage area as peltiers, cooling themself down. Without any heat we don’t need even a passive cooling system for LEDs which will save money and resources but also, their lifeage will increase exponentially since heat is the primary mechanism LEDs degrade in time, here is a study about the peltier phenomenon on LEDs:

https://phys.org/news/2012-03-efficiency.amp

With 10 kHz and 10% dutycycle, we can save in theory 90% of electricity and produce almost 3x more biomass, since we can decrease the photoinhibition into almost zero so this is a major thing to apply in the new generation microalgae culture system:

https://www.researchgate.net/publication/257577449_Effects_of_flashing_light-emitting_diodes_on_algal_biomass_productivity

Also, we can increase biomass by 1.5x with very weak magnets, too strong magnets decrease the biomass:

https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0922338X98801360

The term “FLE” stands for Flashing Light Effect. It refers to a phenomenon where flashing or intermittent illumination of light can have certain effects or benefits in specific applications. The FLE is particularly relevant in the context of LEDs (Light-Emitting Diodes) and their operation.

Flashing LEDs provide several benefits in microalgae cultivation, including enhanced photosynthetic efficiency, mitigation of photoinhibition, optimal light distribution, reduction of photobleaching, and energy efficiency. By modulating the light exposure through intermittent pulses, flashing LEDs optimize microalgae growth, improve biomass production, and contribute to the overall sustainability of the cultivation process.

1. Enhanced Photosynthetic Efficiency:

• Flashing LEDs, which involve intermittent light pulses, can improve the photosynthetic efficiency of microalgae, including Spirulina.
• Microalgae have specific light absorption and utilization patterns, and by modulating the light exposure through flashing LEDs, it is possible to optimize their photosynthetic activity.
• The intermittent light pulses allow microalgae to efficiently utilize the light energy during the on periods while minimizing energy dissipation during the off periods.
• This improved utilization of light energy leads to enhanced photosynthetic efficiency and higher biomass production.

1. Mitigation of Photoinhibition:

• Photoinhibition refers to the process where excessive light exposure can damage the photosynthetic apparatus of microalgae, negatively impacting their growth and productivity.
• Flashing LEDs can help mitigate photoinhibition by providing periods of darkness or low light intensity between the light pulses.
• During the off periods of flashing LEDs, microalgae can recover from potential photodamage and prevent the accumulation of reactive oxygen species (ROS), which are harmful byproducts of excessive light exposure.
• By reducing photoinhibition, flashing LEDs contribute to the overall health and productivity of microalgae cultures.

1. Optimal Light Distribution:

• Flashing LEDs enable better light distribution within the cultivation system, ensuring uniform illumination across the microalgae population.
• Traditional continuous lighting sources can lead to uneven light distribution due to shading effects caused by the self-shadowing of microalgae cells.
• By flashing LEDs, the light pulses can penetrate through the cell layers, reducing the shading effect and providing more uniform light exposure.
• This uniform light distribution promotes equal growth and biomass accumulation throughout the microalgae culture, resulting in improved overall productivity.
• Reduction of Photobleaching:

• Photobleaching refers to the degradation and loss of pigments, such as chlorophyll, in microalgae due to prolonged exposure to high-intensity light.
• Flashing LEDs with controlled light intensities and intermittent exposure can minimize photobleaching by allowing microalgae to recover during the off periods.
• The reduced light exposure during off periods helps maintain the stability and integrity of pigments, ensuring their optimal functionality in light absorption and photosynthesis.
• By minimizing photobleaching, flashing LEDs contribute to the preservation of photosynthetic pigments, leading to sustained growth and productivity of microalgae.

1. Energy Efficiency:

• Flashing LEDs offer energy-efficient lighting options for microalgae cultivation systems.
• Compared to continuous lighting sources, flashing LEDs consume less energy since they are operated intermittently.
• This energy efficiency translates to cost savings and reduced environmental impact associated with energy consumption.
• By utilizing flashing LEDs, microalgae cultivation systems can achieve sustainable and economically viable production processes.

Extended LED Lifespan:

Excessive heat can degrade the performance and lifespan of LEDs.
The cooling effect during flashing reduces the thermal stress on the LEDs, extending their lifespan.
By maintaining optimal operating temperatures, the need for frequent LED replacements is minimized, resulting in cost savings.
Flashing LEDs will lead to increased efficiency and the occurrence of a cooling effect, similar to the Peltier element. This enhances LED performance, improves energy efficiency, extends LED lifespan, and opens up new potential applications in various fields.

By combining the benefits of weak magnetic fields, the utilization of discarded magnets it is possible to create an innovative microalgae cultivation system that enhances biomass production, optimizes biomass composition, and promotes energy efficiency.

1. Influence of Weak Magnetic Fields on Biomass Increase:

• Magnetic fields with low intensity, such as those generated by weak magnets, have been found to increase the biomass of microalgae, including Spirulina.
• Studies have shown that exposure to weak magnetic fields stimulates the growth and enhances the biomass concentration of Spirulina cultures.
• The magnetic field triggers a stimulating effect on Spirulina, resulting in higher biomass production within the same cultivation time period.

1. Utilization of Magnets from Broken Speakers:

• Discarded magnets, such as those found in broken speakers, can be repurposed for use in microalgae cultivation systems.
• These magnets can be strategically positioned within the cultivation environment to create a desired magnetic field strength.
• By repurposing magnets from trashed speakers, it is possible to harness their magnetic properties and apply them to enhance the growth and productivity of Spirulina.

1. Improved Biomass Composition with Magnetic Field Application:

• Magnetic field treatment influences the composition of Spirulina biomass, resulting in higher protein and carbohydrate contents.
• Research has shown that magnetic field exposure can increase protein content by 105.1% and carbohydrate content by 133.2% compared to control cultures.
• The enhanced biomass composition offers potential benefits for the use of Spirulina as a food supplement or in various applications.
