Gardening+Computer+Controlled

Can a garden be controlled by computer? http://www.techtimes.com/articles/65692/20150702/personal-food-comuter-farm-apartment.htm http://video.nationalgeographic.com/video/ng-live/151027-harper-technology-food-lecture-nglive?cs=related&source=relatedvideo He hoped to prove he could use data science to optimize crop yields, boost nutrient density, and trim water consumption by 98 percent compared with traditional dirt farming, all of which he did. This September, he launched the Open Agriculture Initiative, the first open-source platform for global agriculture and food hackers. http://www.popsci.com/wikipedia-farming-is-here My work involves growing food in environments that we can control with a computer. Imagine a box in which we can create a climate by controlling things like carbon dioxide, oxygen, temperature, humidity, and light. I currently have seven of these little boxes in seven schools throughout Boston. Students from 7th through 11th grade are growing vegetables like mustard greens, kale, basil, and radishes. http://www.popsci.com/what-are-you-doing-for-thanksgiving-caleb-harper
