    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.
