Agriculture & Industry

Outside the community’s built-up campus, there are mirrored villages that are the same size as the physical campus. These mirrored blocks are dedicated to intense agriculture and heavy industry.

a large section of the mirrored blocks features intense animal feeding operations, and provide a large portion of the community’s animal protein needs. Greenhouses and vertical farms are used to grow horticultural crops including daily-use vegetables and flowers.

Grains, such as wheat, are grown beyond the mirrored blocks in cropland surrounding the community. Here too, are pastures that are used to rear animals for much of their life before they are taken into CAFO units for the latter stages.

Limited red meat is harvested from natural bison, bovine, and ovine herds out in wilderness areas.

While a NewVistas community produces enough food to “supply” itself, communities trade food with each other for greater variety.

The mirrored blocks also have large-scale grain storage. The storage is rented out to farmers who produce or trade in grain as a holding area before further processing or consumption.

Heavy industrial activities, such as oil refineries, steel fabrication, and other similar endeavors are also carried out in the industrial zone within the mirrored blocks. The blocks also include warehouses and logistics centers, so that within the community, only light industry and minimal storage is done, mainly within apartment buildings’ podium floors.
