Moving them gives the plants the precise amount of light and nutrients needed, an optimization that Kertz says lets him grow 15 times as much lettuce per acre as on a normal farm, using 5% of the water that conventional agriculture does. The company aims to finish a commercial-scale facility by early...

The scientists at the Media Lab are not working for the students’ families, significant others, or the Department of Homeland Security. Instead, all of this data is being used to explore a new field known as collective intelligence...
