Improved Indoor Farming

Posted by Daniel Sharp / in Blog / No comments yet

Hydroponic farms are nothing new. Wikipedia (source of all knowledge!) says research into soil-less farming began in the 17th century. Lots of sci-fi novels and shows (Acorna, The Sheep Look up, even Babylon 5) have been using hydroponic farming for decades as a means of providing both food and oxygen during space travel. It’s pretty sweet, but basically best for when there is no soil (like in space). If you have soil but the weather isn’t so good (nuclear winter maybe?) you’d probably want the most effective greenhouse possible in the last space possible. Some people in Singapore are trying to do just that.
