David Allan on Walipini greenhouse method
On Nov. 27, 2009, my dad, David Allan, gave an extemporaneous presentation on the Walipini greenhouse methodology. One of the main principles involves embedding the greenhouse in the earth to take advantage of the earth’s constant temperature, to store the solar energy collected during the day. The Walipini was first developed more than 20 years ago by the Benson Institute in Provo, Utah; deployed in South and Central America. The success of those projects has spurred the parent organization, the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, to help sponsor deployment of the technology worldwide. Present at this presentation was John Day, Michele Roberts, and James Torgeson, who are involved in Grow Utah First, which seeks to deploy the Walipinis widely in Utah to help the state become more self-sufficient in its food production.
