[18] Conceptual home farming. Design Food Probe by Philips.

Brining village to a city. Phiplis Designs has taken the concept of mini aquaponic farm to the next level. This food growing system is based on the principals of hydro & aquaponic plant growth where greens are grown under artificial light in mineral solutions and water fertilized by fish droppings.

It seems the best way of making use of a space when growing inside of the buildings is to go upwards and create a vertical installations, layers of food within the buildings. This system creates a possibility for an ecological food growth in the city and if put into use it will result in a much lower food footprint of future metropolises like London.
