Food Server

The OpenAg™ Food Server is a shipping container-sized, controlled environment agriculture technology that can be built to utilize hydroponic or aeroponic technology. It is intended to produce larger quantities of food than a Personal Food Computer and will appeal to interdisciplinary researchers and small-scale cafeterias, restaurants, and boutique operators.

Food Server v1.0 was a transparent 40’x’10’x8’ unit that was designed, built and used for research by the Open Agriculture Initiative at the MIT Media Lab from 2015-2017.

Food Server v2.0 is a more tightly-controlled shipping container unit being designed, built, and used in research by the Open Agriculture Initiative at its second research facility on the MIT Bates LINAC campus beginning 2017.
