The System

Do I have more details about what the System is?

5 Cycles: (3 biological/organic, 2 energetic, and 1 more to rule them all)

Nutrients

Air

Water

Heat

Power

Controls

The Sprin of 2017 was this incredibly fertile time period for me of ideas, growth, and transition..

I recognized that I needed to work with senior engineers to learn my craft.

I decided to leave my dream-job at Industrial Organic, a food waste processing startup.

I sat under a tree and conceived of a portable, benchtop scale machine to grow plants using food waste.


I was playing with ideas of hybrid hydroponic growing, DIY nutrient solution production and simple mechanisms for buffering.

Spending time on a boat inspired me with marine systems and interaction with environment while also being self-contained.

I studied plant science, indoor environment control, building science, systems thinking and permaculture design.



Developing the knowledge and skills to be able to build this machine (the System) is a life goal for me

along with meeting the people who will build it with me 

(in whatever form that may turn out to be)
