(Times of Israel) David Shamah - An Israeli-developed mini-farm that can grow vegetables anywhere has won a prize as the most promising project to help developing countries improve their economies. Project co-creator Nitzan Solan says the Livingbox "is the perfect system, because it lets anyone anywhere grow vegetables without the need for fertile soil, or running water and electricity, and with minimal farming skills." "The five square meter size is perfect for a family of four or five." Livingbox is based on hydroponics - the science of growing vegetables in water. Vegetables can take root in water when the right nutrients are added. Once it's set up, the system is self-sustaining, requiring nothing more than household waste. "We can grow vegetables using three types of organic waste - from fish waste, with leftover organic waste like rotten vegetables or peels, and even using (animal) waste." All three systems generate the nitrogen plants need to thrive, said Solan. 2014-06-27 00:00:00Full Article
