AGRODOME
A modular and breathable micro-environment for growing crops
Mexico city based design consultancy, NOS, has created a new way for germinating and growing crops directly on the field. ‘AGRODOME’ is a transparent, breathable, stackable and portable system. the creation of these small micro-environments allow farmers to plant and germinate directly on the ground without needing to transplant the sprouts from a greenhouse to their final destination. the height of the dome can be regulated depending on the stage of the plants by either raising the central stake or pushing it further into the ground. the central part also works as a funnel to let water flow directly from the dome to underneath the ground, allowing for better absorption and water distribution. Also, AGRODOME is made from recycled PET, making it a fully recyclable product. the modularity of the domes means they can be mass-produced at an affordable price.
