The Food Computer “creates a controlled environment using robotic control systems and actuated climate, energy, and plant sensing mechanisms. Not unlike climate-controlled data centers optimized for rows of servers, FCs are designed to optimize agricultural production by monitoring and actuating a desired climate inside of a growing chamber.” Cited by IEEE Spectrum, 1/2016
“The combination of open sourced digital plant recipes, open technology platforms, and the IoP will lead to the democratization of food production enabled by massive communities of users.” (Hapert & Siller, 2015:27)
“[The] next agricultural revolution will be based on interconnected open food production platforms (food computers) to increase production either by scaling up or scaling out and sharing data to form a new kind of network, the Internet of Plants (IoP). This new Internet is a digital-plant-recipe-centric network.” (Hapert & Siller, 2015:24)
