Future of Hope Page #4

growing tomatoes mainly.

and I think that it has gone

very well and I think that we have

reached the state where we

have shown that organic is possible

and what is interesting us very much

now is going into tropical fruits

and we have been learning

about this and visiting places

in Europe, they are also fish farming

within these greenhouses

so they are using the water from

the fish farms to water the plants

and the water is very nutritious

so it is giving food to the plants

and then at these places

that we have been visiting

they are growing fish that can eat green

so it is a very sustainable system

And this is something that we are

very interested to bring into Iceland

to grow tropical fruits with this

sustainable system, with fish farming

We see it that this pilot project

here in Iceland would be showing

that this is possible and then

we could expand it elsewhere

and using this left over energy

that we have all over Iceland.

We are a part of nature

and we are a part of

a bigger village with 7 billion people

and as this village has a challenge

I truly we believe that

we can help out and

If you look at the reason

why there is war it is very much

about natural resources

like oil, even water and

this is what we have plenty of meaning

energy and all the natural resources.

I think that these resources

could be utilised here in Iceland

to prototype sustainable solutions

in terms of how to consume

transportation in a new way

I think this gives Iceland

a fantastic opportunity.

It means that there will be

a lot of new start up companies

that will test different methods many

companies will fail others will succeed

if we can just tackle this part in

the global village we are actually

helping the planet because

we only have one planet.

The role of Iceland with the

development of new concepts

in automobiles is going to be

very important. I think there,

exactly there Iceland

can be a platform

for testing new technologies

In a small country like ours we

can go beyond the critical mass

we can develop faster I think

and again here Iceland

is an ideal testing platform,

plus that I would like to see us

develop corporations that are linked

to the development era and that some

of the value added is left in Iceland.

Well obviously, Iceland

has a lot of expertise

in renewable energy science

We know that about 80%

of our primary energy is

currently coming from renewable

energy sources and essentially 100%

of electricity generation or production

is from renewable energy sources

Iceland has a lot to

offer other countries.

There's a very good

lesson to be learnt here

How did Iceland manage to reach this
