Casa e Cose

Home Farming, as the name suggests, explores growing at least part of your daily food inside your house. “People are increasingly concerned about how their food has been manipulated and processed, genetic modification, global shortages, environmental degradation through monoculture, the distance food travels before reaching their plates and many other related issues,” says van Heerden. “One way of addressing such legitimate concerns is to source the food yourself by having a biosphere in your living room.” This Biophere home farm contains fish, crustaceans, algae, plants and other mini-ecosystems, all interdependent and in balance with each other. Making families all over the world at least partly self-sufficient in this way has obvious appeal.
