    They’re Qatar-based student, and vegetables does not come from ground or tree, but shipping container lol.

    I think their idea is noble, but really, hydroponics and vertical farm could potentially scale better than cultivate plant cell and print it, and also a tried and tested method for idk millions of years.

      I’ve seen the number of carrots you can get from a meter squared, I honestly felt like they never saw a vegetable patch in their life. Qatar? Well then…

      hydroponics and vertical farm

      Both take water. I’m guessing Qatar doesn’t have a whole lot of that.

        Everything takes water, they have desalination plants for that. Hydroponic’s goal is both reduce water and land use.

        Growing plant cells in culture also requires water. Cells require water
