6 жыл бұрынKimbal Musk, brother of Tesla founder Elon Musk, has set up 10 sustainable farms in shipping containers that produce 50 to 100 pounds of food every week, the equivalent of that traditionally produced by 2 acres of farmland. He talks about his Square Roots urban farming project, and reveals how you could enter a raffle to win his Tesla Model 3.

@trandmain The living modules to be initially built on Mars will deal with processing the ambient gas on Mars to generate the breathable air that we and plants need. So the box would just need to be hooked up to that system. From there, solar panels charge the bulbs inside the container and the only other variable is whatever else the plants need to grow. Hydroponics will probably be the way because soil would be difficult to make.

Hey there! We can totally understand how it may have been a bit confusing in this broadcast, but Square Roots purchased their equipment from Freight Farms back in 2016 to grow fresh produce in Brooklyn, you can learn more about it in this case-study on how the two companies work together: www.freightfarms.com/square-roots. You can also learn about other Freight Farmers growing all across the globe on our website! Let us know if you have any more questions.

I have started a tiny garden in a 4'x4' grow tent and am amazed by how much can be grown in a small space. parsley, bunching onions, carrots, spinach, cherry tomatoes, swiss chard lettuce, basil, rosemary, sage a fern, some small flowers... and there is room for a little more. It has never been easier to grow a garden than it is today and the sky is the limit. You owe it to yourself to purchase a small grow light and to grow your own little garden. Gardening is good for the soul.

Yeah Kimbal is very deliberate about his media presence. He was probably repeating the thing about taste so much because... well people are dumb and resistant to change so whenever there's new tech solutions in food the first thing most people (as most people aren't especially health conscious) do is think about taste. Kelly even mentioned something related to this when she used the word 'techy' before the taste test.

I understand it may be difficult if you live in a city like New York, but in most parts of the country there are Regenerative/Sustainable farm operations. It is worth subscribing to a CSA box program from one of them for fresh, delicious, nutritious produce. This is a cool idea, but people should also look to support the farms that are already near them.

I can imagine big brother Elon wanting to adapt some of this technology.

I had been researching and experimenting with Hydroponic and vertical farming. Sure it more controlled environment crops growing but it can also get very expensive to maintains and not really eco-friendly or self-sustainable. Traditional farming is actually more sustainable on the long run and more cost affective. This requires a lot of electricities, water and resources. Also it has a easy chance containation and failure if the environment is compromise. And the cost of the nutrients cost more than traditional soil and fertilizer. This option is actually great for colder climate and having crops all year around. But we also shouldn't give up on traditional farming as well. Both methods are needed.
