Read about your product in WIRED and became very interested in the agronomical potential it might have when developed further. Do you have any plans to contact some local communities or areas in less-developed countries, which can't produce a lot of nutritious food locally, but would love to do so? The Smart Farm looks perfect for that. Also, the mini-version seems to be a perfect solution for people in very urbanised areas, who would like to eat more healthily, but don't have the time to go to a local marketplace or don't get a lot of sunlight coming through their windows.


Thanks for the support! We are definitely planning to use our technology to improve the food production on a larger scale as well. We are currently in discussions to start testing it with a company involved in large scale food production. Our technology actually helps save quite a substantial amount of water in comparison to traditional agricultural practices (up to 95%)! So we see there is a lot of potential to make the whole process a lot more efficient, make the ecologial footprints smaller while improving the yields and health of the plants.
