Hello,

My name is Douglas Mallette, an Aerospace Systems Engineer who used to work with the NASA Space Shuttle Program, a published author of a book called Turning Point, which discusses in very simple terms why space exploration is valuable to mankind, and an accomplished public speaker who's been fortunate enough to travel the world and educate people as to how science, engineering and technology can be used to help ensure Global Sustainability.

My experience in the space industry has given me a unique perspective on what mankind can accomplish.  We can do amazing things, and it's about time we use our abilities for humanitarian concern, so that all people have a chance to reach their best potential.  You can help make that happen.

Cybernated Farm Systems, LLC, is a Socially Conscious company dedicated to the standards of CSR (Corporate Social Responsibility).  Our mission is to eliminate the gap between global production and distribution of healthy organic foods to the people of the world, using advanced technologies and automated systems to accomplish the goal of creating decentralized (local) high yield, small footprint aquaponic farm buildings that are ecologically sound, environmentally conscious and robust in performance and sustainability.

I know $1 million seems like a lot, but I cannot put a price tag on the lives that can be positively affected by CFS.  With that said, $1 million is a fraction of what is typically needed by a technology startup company.  Why is that?  Mainly it's because I personally have done over two years of work in advance, with no funding, because I am passionate about what this can do for people.  The groundwork has been laid, the initial engineering has been done, and now it's time to go to the next level.

So, what is the $1,075,000 for?  Well, the $75,000 is the part IndieGoGo will receive for hosting this campaign, leaving us with what we need to do our work.  The funding generated here will be used for prototype development, where CFS expands its staff to include subject matter experts in disciplines like Robotics, Automation, Aquaponics and Clean Energy Systems.  Our mission is to detail and refine our product for immediate implementation, from testing all aspects of how the facility operates, to developing operating manuals in multiple languages, to fortifying our global relationships.  When the prototyping is done, we plan to hit the ground running so we can save lives as quickly as possible.  Every day that passes is yet another needless loss of life from something that should not be.

Beyond the internal satisfaction of helping do something positive for mankind, there will be added bonuses to helping CFS, depending on your level of contribution.

$10 to $500 contributors are Founding Donors who will be permanently noted (unless they opt out of public recognition) on the CFS website as important people who helped get us started.

People who contribute at or above the $1000 amount will not only be listed on the website, but will receive special considerations that will be disclosed in personal communications.  Feel free to email CFS directly in advance if you have questions, info@cyberfarmsystems.com.

This campaign is being established as an "all or nothing" campaign.  The numbers have been crunched, the lower limits have been set, and CFS cannot move forward with less than $1 million if we expect to do this the right way.  It's our hope that over the duration of this campaign, the word will spread and people all over the world will be moved by what we're doing.

Regards,

Douglas Mallette, BSET
