In this way, the production of food at the agricultural level also reaches where in the world there is no connection to the electricity grid. Each kit consists of a container where are all tools and implements to create a cultivation system based on renewable energy and drip irrigation.
The idea wants to respond to the need for guarantee food safety both domestically and globally. Communities located in disadvantaged or isolated areas must have the opportunity to grow their own food and also to obtain an income from the sales of agricultural products.
Everything can be solved thanks to the energy produced by the solar panels and the idea of making them available a single kit that contains everything you need to create self-sufficient crops.
Farm From A Box suggests using regenerative agriculture techniques and precision technologies that allow water saving, such as drip irrigation.

Each kit, among other things, It provides: solar panels, basic agricultural equipment, water purification system, drip irrigation system, Wi-Fi and Cloud, technological mapping and sensors that help cultivation, seedbeds for cultivation.

The project is aimed at:
- Communities that want to dedicate themselves to sustainable agriculture
- School and educational projects
- Vivification of urban deserts thanks to local agriculture
- Field-to-table food for businesses and restaurants
- Support for non-profit organizations
- To those who want to transform unproductive or abandoned land into an agricultural space
Each system is designed to be customized according to the needs of those who will receive it and at the moment in the United States training courses will be organized to learn sustainable and regenerative agriculture. At the moment the project concerns only the USA, the kits are under construction and reservations are accepted nationally (unfortunately it is not yet available internationally).
Don't you think it's a really interesting project that should be exported all over the world?
