The benefits that the growing power farm has brought to its community. Also describe the way in which the farm showcases the three scientific principles of sustainability.

Answer to Problem 1CR
Growing power farm utilizes solar energy and solar water heater for the growth of plants. It leads to the production of organic food products. Such organic products are sold in the market at modest prices.
Explanation of Solution
A growing power farm utilizes solar electricity and solar water system for the production of various crops. This farm produces 150 different types of crops. It also produces organically raised turkey, chickens, goats, and honeybees, and the nutrients of farms are recycled in a creative method. For instance, wastes from farmed fish are used as nutrients for the growth of some crops. Thus, the growing power farm clearly represents the scientific principles of sustainability.
In addition, the products from farm are sold locally at growing power farm stands all over the region and to restaurants. Also, they provide the facility for weekly deliveries of organic products at modest prices.

(Photos/letters may be used more than once.)Permineralization: The small internal cavities and pores of an original organism that are filled with precipitated mineral matter. Photo(s):Cast: The space once occupied by a dissolved shell or other structure that is subsequently filled with mineral matter. Photo(s):Carbonization: Preservation that occurs when fine sediment encases delicate plant or animal forms and leaves a residue of carbon, Photo(s):Impression: A replica of an organism, such as a leaf, left in fine-grained sedimentary rock. Photo(s):Amber: Hardened resin of ancient trees that preserved delicate organisms such as insects. Photo(s):Indirect evidence: Traces of prehistoric life but not the organism itself.
