Biodome Fruit Trees: A Sustainable Food Source

Biodome grown and nurtured fruit trees offer a sustainable food source. A series of biodome video teach viewers how to maximize growth potential and minimize maintenance by planting long-lived food-producing fruit trees. The video series feature Daley’s Fruit Tree Nursery.

Daley’s Fruit Tree Nursery is a family-run business that grows fruit year-round via their Biodome. The business was founded by Greg Daley 25 years ago. He wanted to start a fruit tree nursery that supplied subtropical fruit, nut and rainforest trees across Australia.

Over the years, the nursery has survived a number of droughts and economic downturns. Downturns have been viewed as challenges to improve business systems, such as the installation of water recycling and sand filtration system.

The videos teach how to grow fruit all year round with extreme micro-climate change by creating a multi-layered perennial dwarf food forest ecosystem.

How Climate Change Could Make Our Food Less Nutritious

Rising carbon levels in the atmosphere can make plants grow faster, but there’s another hidden consequence: they rob plants of the nutrients and vitamins we need to survive. In a talk about global food security, epidemiologist Kristie Ebi explores the potentially massive health consequences of this growing nutrition crisis — and explores the steps we can take to ensure all people have access to safe, healthy food.
