Eco Factor: Autonomous indoor plantation concept.

By the year 2015 there won’t be as much land available for farming as there is today. This decrease in farmland will require systems that can allow the growing population to feed itself. Hydroponics and aeroponics are two systems that can help people grow food indoors without the need of soil.

The absence of garden space in urban areas has made industrial designers make use of the newly developed farming techniques to enable homeowners to grow food. Industrial designer Han Bin Siew has designed the Halo Aerocell system that is an autonomous system that requires little maintenance, as it will maintain the system for growing crops using electronic components.

Running on nutrient cartridges, the system requires the user to periodically check and replace the cartridges. The system according to Han will encourage humans to reconnect back to nature in urban jungles.
