Agriculture

Agriculture is the main industry on Bonivario. Due to our changing climate (see Geography), we have the opportunity to grow many different crops. We do however, have special greenhouses with controlled climates where we grow our main food staples which are provided every year to ensure healthful food options at any point in time.These are rice, corn, wheat, and various types of fruit that change from year to year. We also grow oats and have pastures for livstock, which provide products like milk, cheese, butter, eggs, and occasionally meat, though it is more often used for special cultural holidays and is not an everyday food.

Technology

Bonivario is not engaged in trade with any other countries to keep our location(s) secret and undisturbed. This means that we must produce everything ourselves. We have to create all our own technological devices, but since Bonivario was founded by scientists (see History for more), our home-made devices have progressed quickly, some even beyond the current mainland level. Despite this though, many of our technologies used in everyday life are more primitive, due to our efforts to use natural materials that we have farmed to conserve energy and resources. Clothing is often handmade, with cloth purchased from local stores and naturally dyed. Many other products are made at home as well. This also allows certain "factory jobs" to be filled by each one of our residents and not an underpayed (and underappreciated) minority, further representing equality. Energy Bonivario is focused on producing clean, renewable energy. In fact, we were forced to create alternate energy sources, since our mining activities were limited. This meant that we couldn't dig for natural gas or coal. So we looked above ground for not only safer, but clean energy sources that benefited the health and well-being of our citizens. We use a combintion of solar, wind, and other renewable energy sources that provide for us all around the globe. To provide for our citizen's water needs, we use a desalinization process, or to speak clearly, we take the salt out of saltwater. Since Bonivario is an island, we are surrounded by oppurtunities for this. We also have a reservior in the northeast corner of the island where we collect rain water and snow for irrigation and other uses.
