Farm in a Bottle?

By August 27, 2012 No Comments

It’s billed as an “indoor farm,” but looks more like a farm in a blender. This conceptual innovation from Arthur Kemp and François Hurtaud would place a “plug-and-play” micro-farm at your command, complete with light source and watering system. Just the thing to go with your 3D food printer.

Having just snorted a few lines of whimsy, the notion of a farm-in-a-bottle comes to mind, carried across oceans on the crests of crashing waves and cast upon some distant shore at the feet of desperate castaways. Better yet, a molotov-cocktail seed grenade that could be thrown into the fertile volcanic plain of a desert island, spawning the raw materials for yet another farm-in-a-bottle. But then, I suppose, you wouldn’t have a bottle anymore. Hmm. Nevermind.

And do desert islands count as food deserts? I suppose it depends how ready your access to coconuts is.
