...The average human eats 3 tonnes of food per annum; that figure includes meat and dairy produce. So I would guess that an average human eats about 1500Kg of vegetables. If this is correct your 1000 people will need an output of 1,500 tonnes per annum. Don't get confused with output equalling input; you will have plant loss so head for 2,000 tonnes output. This is a very big system needing very big support and a very big wallet.

Are you kidding, Mazarron? Other than perhaps sumo wrestlers - who are not average humans - I doubt if many humans would have the capacity to put away 3000/365 = 8.22kg of food per day on a regular basis! :shock: Where did you pull that figure from?

18 lbs a day?? Does that include beer? lol I think it's around 3-4 lbs per day...so 3-4000 lbs per day for his 100 people question. or 1095- 1460 per annum per person, totals of 10950- 14600 for the 1000 people per year. That also include liquids, but not sure percentages on that end. I would guess at least 30% by weight. Either way, a lot of lettuce.

I've tracked protein, carbs, and calories for myself and various athletes, but no idea what the weight was. I do know that in a hot climate, a endurance athlete(soccer, tennis, basketball) will easily consume over a gallon during a game/training session. This would include pre game/workout hydrations as well. Add that 8.3 lbs to the equation.

Coachchris, water may well be a required input to the human body in order to sustain life but, come on, it is hardly a food!

Besides, to the best of my knowledge, commercial AP facilities don't churn out potable water as one of their outputs.

PLJ- of course...i was just trying to arrive at the 18 lbs per day figure. Even at 1 plus gallon of liquids, we're still around the 12lb figure?? For many people, me included, beer is a food, and also a liquid. lol
