TEMPE, Ariz., June 11, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Green Planet Group,
Inc. (OTC Pink: GNPG) announced today that its wholly owned
subsidiary, Healing the Earth, Inc. (HTE), has initiated testing of
its proprietary computer controlled growing system. This
revolutionary growing system has been designed to measure and
respond to minute changes in its climate-controlled plant growing
environment. The Company has developed sensors to measure
minute changes in conditions such as temperature and humidity that
are linked via custom-designed software controlling elements such
as water and nutrient distribution as well as ambient temperature
and lighting.
Ed Lonergan, Green Planet CEO,
noted, "Our first objective was to grow food more efficiently, with
less waste and far less negative impact on Planet Earth and our
environment. Our system achieves that with better than a 90%
reduction in water use, zero chemical run-off into ground water and
streams, and no GMOs. Beyond that, our all natural approach
to plant cultivation is also designed to increase food production
by more than 300% as compared to traditional cultivation methods
and to surpass all other controlled environment growing
systems. For this reason, we have invested in the development
of the intellectual property that allows our system to closely
monitor growing conditions and to create the ideal growing
environment specific to each crop or plant type."
Yesterday, HTE management initiated testing of the growing
system's proprietary water and nutrient distribution system.
Results of this early testing show great promise.
Jim Schoenberger, Healing the Earth
General Manager, said, "Our testing results were just what you hope
for in initial testing. I was waiting to watch the first test
round out by the growing system when I realized our system designer
was standing next to me. I asked him if he wasn't going to
fire it up. He said, 'Nope. The computer is.' And
right then, valves opened for a few second burst of water/nutrient
spray just as programed. Through this testing, we've
identified opportunities to further tighten controls, so we're
already refining a great system. We're now just days away
from full-blown climate-controlled plant growth trials."
Healing the Earth, Inc. is building a "proof of concept" growing
system installation in Congress, Arizona, to provide barley fodder for the
feeding of cattle. This installation will verify the
productivity and nutritional quality of food grown on the Company's
groundbreaking growing technology and validate its three primary
concepts: Food on Demand, Food at the Point of
Consumption and Fast Track Food.
- This revolutionary growing system produces 100% organic food
naturally, with no GMOs (genetically modified organisms) or
chemical fertilizers.
- The system uses up to 90% less water than conventional growing
methods and plants grow up to 300% faster.
- GNPG projects that revenues from the HTE subsidiary should
exceed $46 million with a gross profit of $19
million within the next four years.
