Yoda: Farm from a Box
Earth Intelligence
A complete, off-grid toolkit for community farming.
Farm from a Box provides communities with the tools required to feed themselves and build a strong livelihood.

Yoda: Farm in a Box (CropBox)
Earth IntelligenceFarm in a box produces an acre's worth of crops in a shipping container
Along with “exponentially higher” yields, the CropBox promises that their complete growing system also uses 90% less water and 80% less fertilizer than conventional agriculture does.
The shipping containers, which can fit 2800 planting spots in the 320 square feet (~ 30 square meters), are outfitted with grow lights, planting racks, a heating and ventilation system, all of the necessary hydroponic components (reservoir, pump, control & monitoring system), and a complete suite of 18 sensors for monitoring just about every environmental condition inside the container.
