Green PolkaDot Box Announces Indiegogo Crowd Funding Campaign to Complete Funding for Phase I of Living Produce(R) Growing Ce...
22 Juli 2014 - 2:31PM
Green PolkaDot Box Incorporated (OTC:GPDB) "GPDB" or "Company"
announced today it has commenced its crowd funding campaign on
Indiegogo for the purpose of raising $250,000 or more to complete
Phase I of its first Living Produce® Growing Center located in
Spring City, Utah. The Company has investors and members who have
committed up to $500,000 in matching funding for the Campaign.
The Campaign features a video entitled "Which 3 Billion People
will Die, First?" that describes in detail how GPDB's Living
Produce® is a solution to the GMO crisis that is growing in America
and other parts of the world; it demonstrates why foods using GMO
are not essential to feed starving populations around the world;
and explains how GPDB's patent-pending growing technology and
patented organic fertilizer solution can provide nutrient dense
produce for the masses—without the use of GMO, toxic chemicals and
pesticides—at a lower cost of production.
Promotional efforts to drive millions of consumers to see the
video and participate in the crowd funding offering at
Indiegogo are in place with GPDB's more than 1,200 affiliates
along with numerous other influential organizations, including
NaturalNews.com and TheStockProfiler.com to reach over
100,000,000 potential viewers. GPDB anticipates that the
Campaign will also be able to attract new members while securing
the crowd-funding goal of $250,000.
What is Living Produce®?
Superior Plant
Nutrients: GPDB's proprietary and patent pending growing
technology delivers the full spectrum of nutrients required for
healthy, sustainable plant growth. Consumers are able to see
and taste the difference and view the "specs" (the vitamin/mineral
contents of each plant and their respective benefits in promoting a
strong, healthy immune system.) GPDB will be the first grower
to sell its produce "by spec" (specification), raising the bar for
exceptional produce beyond the reach of its competitors.
Living Plants:
In most cases, the produce to be offered by GPDB is alive,
literally, when harvested and delivered the next day to the
commercial customer's place of business. These plants can
remain alive for 7-10 days before they begin to deteriorate and
lose peak phytonutrient value.
Year-Round
Production: GPDB's Living Produce will be grown in
"closed" indoor, climate-controlled growing centers, enabling
year-round production of favorite varieties and also rare species
that are sometimes very hard to get.
Less Environmental
Impact: Produce growth with vertical technology
requires about only 10% of the land mass normally used for
production with less than 95% of the water. But that's not
all. With some varieties the growing cycle is only 30-days,
meaning that GPDB can get up to 12 times the normal yield of
traditionally grown plants. GPDB plans on using low energy
cost geothermal heating and cooling systems to minimize
environmental impact. Also, because the plants are living when
shipped, minimal packaging is required.
Enhanced Food
Safety: Because vertical growing can take place in "closed
system" greenhouse facilities, GPDB can maintain a sterile growing
and handling environment. Unlike with organically grown crops in
outdoor environments, we can eliminate plant contamination from
animal feces and urine, transfer of feces from human picking and
handling, airborne pathogens, and downwind over spray of toxic
chemicals, fertilizers and pesticides. Your food supply of
fresh harvested produce will be safer than any other source of
organic produce.
Organic Hydroponic Fertilizer for Living
Produce®
In connection with Living Produce® the Company has developed a
water-soluble compound of organic plant nutrients derived from
naturally occurring deposits in the earth, including numerous
biological species and mineral elements. This compound
incorporates the patented, organic product SOLU-PLKS which acts as
a functional bridge between minerals and biology to produce soluble
nutrients, vitamins, enzymes and many other nutrient-rich compounds
that are essential to the life and health of all living
organisms. It also contains other major and secondary
nutrients--including over 70 trace minerals and beneficial
microorganisms--that enable full genetic expression in plants to
form structural integrity and produce compounds and metabolites
such as carbohydrates, proteins, and lipids (fats and oils).
Thousands of secondary metabolites are also formed, fostering a
unique, proprietary blend of organic-based components to promote
optimal plant health with a comprehensive nutrient profile.
Phase I – Spring City, Utah
The Company has broken ground on Phase I or the "Proof of
Concept" phase of a potential 40-acre hydroponic, vertical growing
farm. This Living Produce™ Growing Center or
"LPGC" site is located a few miles south of Mt. Pleasant, near
Spring City, in the heart of Utah. Phase I plans for 7
greenhouse bays (400' x 31.5') including a one-bay processing
facility, situated on approximately 2 acres to grow eleven or more
super varieties of organic and non-genetically modified Living
Produce™. These varieties include various assortments or types of
tomatoes, cucumbers, squashes, peppers, lettuces, herbs, beans,
peas and strawberries. GPDB management is confident that
development of Phase I can be completed and in full harvest for
sales within four months of funding.
Phase I is dedicated to grow and harvest a variety of fruits and
vegetables—up to 6,000,000 pounds of produce, annually—for
distribution to GPDB membership, commercial distributors and
restaurants.
