If our country’s transportation network were ever disrupted, we may face a food supply disaster.
The big farming conglomerates are located in just a few states. If our highways, rail systems, or ports were ever damaged or destroyed, food supply will not be able to be delivered to the vast majority of our cities.
We also have an agricultural trade imbalance. Too much of our produce is imported from Mexico and other countries.

WHY MILLENNIAL FARMS?
Because the United States has a very high risk of having an extremely
vulnerable food supply
Our country is facing what may become an agricultural crisis. Between 1993 and 2020, U.S. agricultural imports from Mexico have increased elevenfold. In 2020, the United States had a $15 billion agricultural trade deficit with Mexico.
Nearly all of our small farms have gone out of business. The few that remain are only viable now because they are vertically integrated. They can afford to lose money in farming if they can make it up in other related businesses.
Today, the United States imports over half of its fresh fruit and almost a third of its fresh vegetables come from other countries. We think this has become a national security concern.
Adding to the concern of where most of our food is produced, we also are experiencing a precarious supply chain problem. The possibility of supply chain disruptions such as road blockages, lack of fuel, worker strikes, or terrorism increases our country’s vulnerability to massive food and water shortages.
If the U.S. were to become entangled in a war, our transportation and electrical grids could be among the first to be targeted for destruction by foreign military or terrorists. If these systems were to be damaged, our country would experience a severe supply chain disruption
With your tax-deductible contribution, you can sponsor a small hydroponic farm or garden near your community.
Your contribution will go to a hard asset investment that will fund the development and continued maintenance of this farm or garden.
This financial model is designed to sustain productive crops for generations, perhaps even a thousand years (a millennium).
