PeaPod

A cloud-connected isolated and automated plant growth environment, able to generate any environment from a combination of independent environment parameters.

Designed as both a hassle-free food production system and a research tool for precise and distributed mapping of the plant-environment relationship.

Submitted to the NASA/CSA Deep Space Food Challenge. Update: PeaPod has won Phase 1 and moved on to prototyping for Phase 2!
