Introduction
Integrated food systems are desirable. Here is a high level proposition. As ecological collapse moves forward, here is a regenerative proposition, which is worth pursuing and developing at all scales.
Current Production Methods: Need to be Improved
The Integrated System Proposition
Economic Analysis
Biogas Powered Cars
Compressed biogas from IF&WMS can be used to power cars. See this - [1]. This is from ISIS, who have tried Dream Farm 2 as a model IF&WMS.
Discussion
1.9.09 - Integration is not easy. For the entire system to work - major, diverse infrastructure requirements exist. These may include water-tight storage vessels, ponds, vats, earth structures, containers, etc. - which at a large scale, require significant startup capital, heavy equipment and large-scale planning to implement. Materials handling is a huge requirement.
Because of the above difficulties and others, traditional farming remains at monoculture.
One of the main keys to diversified farming is availability of equipment - which is being addressed by the Global Village Construction Set.
With basic earth moving equipment available, Factor e Farm will be implementing a system in 2009. Capacities include earth moving, pond digging, lumber generation for rot-resistent containers, and soil preparation equipment. Next in line is the genetic base.

A large number of additional IFWMS diagrams were made by OSE contributor Rasmus Kiehl while working on the OSE wiki in 2009. This material has been archived at: http://opensourceecology.org/wiki/IFWMS-Kiehl2009Archive
