Spherical Farming Is The New Alternative To Vertical And It's Ultra Stylish

• http://www.trueactivist.com

As more designers set out to create the next best alternative to traditional farming in an effort to bring fresh food to more people, one firm decided to look away from vertical set-ups and turned instead to a spherical design for their intelligent masterpiece. Dubbed the Plug-In Ecology: Urban Farming with Agronomy, Terreform ONE, a non-profit architectural group that aims to promote smart designs that bring nature back to New York City, worked on this project as one of many efforts to bring city farming to residents.

Described as a "living cabin," the urban pod is at the forefront of farming technology with loads of features to ensure the success of the produce. In using the principles of agronomy, which takes into account the environmental impacts of agriculture and the creation of healthier food, designers developed this food production capsule that "plugs in ecology" where agriculture is scarce by making it available in the home.
