The word "plantation" usually evokes bucolic visions of green fields, waves of ears and animals, but the agriculture of the future has more to do with the now familiar environments in which we live: a parking lot, a pizza, a crowded city ​​street.

It may sound out of place or unrealistic, but it is exactly one of the directions in which the agriculture of the future is moving: a team of entrepreneurs has started working on real plantations sent inside containers and able to send fresh agricultural products ( literally) to city residents.

More than fresh, to be honest: these are products that continue to grow even during the journey.

agriculture of the future

By 2050, planet Earth will house 9 billion people, 70% of whom will live in large urban areas. This is the conceptual starting point (actual data from a 2015 United Nations study) that Tobias Peggs, at the head of Square Roots Grow, he took to get inspiration and develop his startup capable of sending "canned plantations".

"The only possible conclusion is to produce growth and a rapid finding of real, fresh food already in the city belt"

The result is possible thanks to hydroponic crops: the nutrients capable of making the plants grow are mixed with water and not with the soil, facilitating easier transportability. In each of the 10 shipping containers used by the company, the plants grow in vertical towers arranged like shelves in a library. Each container, in fact, is the equivalent of a plantation of almost one hectare.

agriculture of the future

Think about it for a second: these don't use pesticides. They do not spray substances. They do not use GMOs. Is it or is it not practically the healthiest and 'cleanest' food you can eat?

Really not bad, no doubt about it, to be canned food.
