5 Hour Farm
This farmer works 35 hours a week.
Who can get his system down to by a factor of 10? 3.5. He's making way more produce than one person eats.
Permaculture instructor Andrew Millison journeys to India to film the epic work of the Eco-Factory Foundations's Anand Chordia. Anand is an heir to the Suhana Spice company and has used his position in the company to create the most sustainable industrial site that I've ever seen. You've got to see this to believe it. Zero waste, zero water, zero energy. Is this the future of factories?

How to make a home hydroponics system.
The Open Mower project allows you to build your own smart lawn mower robot using the Raspberry Pi and an Arduino. The robot is able to localize itself using very precise RTK GPS. As base for this project, an off-the-shelf robot mower is used. The electric components and the software are published as an open source project.
This robot lawn mower is able to record a map of your lawn and mow it automatically. All path planning and navigation is done on the robot mower directly.
If you want to build your own GPS robotic lawn mower, you can get the hardware and software on GitHub. But since this is an expensive project, I recommend to ask your questions in my Discord before you start building your own robotic lawn mower.
The goal of this farm campaign is to offer a farm/garden solution that can generate 60,000 calories of food on 5 hours of human effort.
For most people that is a month of food. 2000 calories per day x 30 days = 60000 calories.
In the U.S. that would mean creating over $100 / hr. That's a massive raise for most Americans and most people across the world.
Todo:
Find and post a calorie chart for all growable foods, starting with varieties of potatoes, leafy greens, fish, chicken.
Create a menu of macro nutrients like carbs, protein, fat and

Instagram failed. It failed at the exact moment of capturing the handle preventing actual use.
https://github.com/5hourfarm - done. in case we generate any opensource projects.
https://www.instagram.com/fivehourfarm/ - done. got it working for a second account
Bought 5hourfarm.com too. - done.
Ok plenty of social handles. So sad about Instagram. ( It's available now)
Create email list. Gonna create a free mailchimp until I find a better option.
Actually starting with google group: https://groups.google.com/g/5hourfarm
? Create a legal entity? Maybe.
Post youtube videos of best solutions right now that fit in back yard or smaller.
Design a prototype competition.
Can grow 60000 calories with less than 5 hours of maintenance.
Less than 10 hours of setup, installation.
Make a video of a farm expert, myself, and a competition expert.
How to make farming a software problem?
If we make farming into a combination of sensors and actuators where all the decisions can be turned into
