Urban community gardens were the second most positively evaluated of the five agricultural systems; however, lettuce produced in this system was perceived as less safe to eat. Conversely, lettuce cultivated in high-tech greenhouses is regarded as safer to consume, yet this method of agriculture is...
This setup is needed to allow the voltmeter to accurately measure the electricity. Place the motor and propeller in front of a fan, which will produce the "wind." When the propeller starts spinning, check the voltmeter. It will show you how much electricity is being produced. If you see ...
For those enjoying lunch in the Whole Foods rooftop cafeteria, a bank of windows overlooks the greenhouse production area, letting customers see up close exactly where the lettuce in their sandwich was harvested.Whole Foods acts as the landlord, but Gotham Greens owns the greenhouses. Produce ...

Surprisingly, however, the yeast exposed to microgravity produced fewer esters, the byproducts of fermentation that create both desirable and undesirable beer flavors. While suspension could be responsible, the researchers learned a yeast gene that regulates ester production might also play a part; t...
