Problem

Globally, we are struggling with water and food shortages. Experts predict that conditions will continue to deteriorate due to global warming and population growth. One way to improve conditions while governments work to implement new policies, is through improved efficiency in food production and the resources used for agriculture, especially through solutions that reduce the impact of agricultural production on the environment

This challenge looks at Controlled Environment Agriculture (CEA), or technology-based approaches to food production taking place within an enclosed growing environment, such as a greenhouse.

Please share a proposal for a greenhouse or other enclosed agricultural environment that can be used to improve global food production.

High quality submissions may include:

  • an explanation of how your environment would improve agricultural productivity

  • an explanation of how your environment would optimize resource use (water, energy, labor)

  • an explanation of how your environment might work in adverse growing conditions (i.e. desert, high altitude, etc.)

  • a schematic or drawings of your proposed solution (or pictures/videos of similar working prototypes)
