Are you worried about food supplies? Or do you want to save money by growing your own food? Now you can start a farm in your parking lot. Just rent a farm in a box, a CropBox. In this recycled shipping container you can grow as much lettuce as on an acre of land. You don’t need to spend $1,000’s to build a greenhouse in your garden. CropBox makes farming very easy for citizens without green thumbs: You can monitor and adjust every element of the process from a smart phone. And the system even includes a webcam, so you can watch the plants grow from your home. Don’t let anyone tell you that we cannot feed the growing world population.
