This Scientist Wants to Email Vegetables | National Geographic

hey Caleb nice to meet you sir let’s
hear about what you do i create
different sized boxes so like a small
box of medium or fox in a large box and
inside of the boxes i create climate
it’s just like a hyper greenhouse the
same plant to be in all three boxes but
in one box it might express to be you
know taller or shorter or spicier and so
I figure out how to change those
climates to get the things that we want
for example one of the ways we grow a
lot faster is we don’t use any soil and
sometimes we don’t use any standing
water so we just use missed the crazy
part is the hairs of the plant gets
super pushy they almost look like moldy
they’re so fuzzy yeah color would
identify like whitish maybe cuz that’s
Rudy kind of color and what I’m
imagining is we record that climate with
sensors and then I send it to another
box via email and they hit go on the box
and it creates the same plans so can
simulate the same climate in different
boxes the exact same climate anywhere
else in the world it’s like it’s like
digital farmville digital physical
farmville I have gone
a very basic rudimentary schedule it’s
cool here we go like all the boxes and
the cloud got an email got a computer
ball and it’s a super fuzzier is super
puffy with the ocho coming out co2 going
in kind of the pink line so you want to
see what the bar so this is so this is
one of the tiny boxes sometimes it’s
just one box because it’s like in your
house and then sometimes it’s like a big
box because it’s your whole school and
it sometimes the huge box which is it’s
like to your city that’s also that’s
like a whole city of food yeah built one
box at a time yeah it’s not yours
building blocks of lega
