STOMPer Abby came across an article about a vending machine in Japan which can grow 20,000 heads of lettuce a day without a single ray of sunlight. However, it doesn't come cheap, she says.
Wrote Abby in her email contribution (Nov 2):
"20,000 heads of lettuce a year... 60 heads of lettuce a day.
"Twelve 40-watt bulbs... Lots of water and electricity consumed.
"USD90,000 to purchase... Up to five different types of vegetables can be grown at the same time.
"It's called 'Chef's Farm' and it is manufactured by Dentsu Facility Management Inc.
"Perhaps this machine will retail for cheaper in the future when our fields have all been converted to housing and industrial plots.
"Right now, only the top-notch restaurants (in Japan?) can afford it.
"It's not purely automatic though, the seed beds still need to be moved manually, and probably cleaned; although the environment for each seed bed can be controlled.
"However, I wonder if we get lesser nutrients from these vegetables than from those grown under the sun.
"I wonder how these vegetables taste and which restaurant in Japan can I sample them."
Blog Master: Maybe in coming future...Japan also can invent Growing real animals from the modified + upgraded Animal Kaiser Machine ?? lol
