Well it looks like the scifi push for domed cities has fallen on the hearts and minds of some farmers in Kent, England. The group of farmers are setting out to build something enormous. 220 acres of greenhouses all in one giant area with all that soil you’d think that they would be growing something in all that soil. But you would be wrong you won’t see the little plants needed for all natural weight loss pills growing in the soil in this greenhouse. You will however see plants growing but it will be in the form of 1.3 million plants growing hydroponically. The entire lot of seven greenhouses will be able to increase the UK’s green vegetable supply by around 15%. That’s a lot of growth from one single expansive farm project to boost an entire nation by 15%.
What’s even more interesting is the fact that during the dry season the greenhouse unlike many others will be fully self sufficient during the season via the ability to collect rainwater from October throughout April.
