National Geographic Emerging Explorer Caleb Harper believes the future of our food supply lies in urban farming. The MIT researcher has developed a computer that can create the perfect climate to grow food.

The computer controls the temperature, humidity, and light and records the optimal conditions to yield the best flavor and nutrient density.

Harper and his team are sharing what they have learned so the same results can be achieved anywhere in the world.
