Grow your own kitchen appliance

As people live in more crowded urban environments with less opportunity to grow fresh fruit and vegetables and a growing desire for consumers to know the provenance of their food, the Niwa project is the ultimate solution. A kickstarter funded project, Niwa is an automated hydroponics growing system that is easy to use and would blend into most homes and is being seen as a new generation of kitchen appliance. From watering, to lighting, to heat regulation the whole unit is controlled by a smartphone.

Once seeds are planted, the app uses its preset growing knowledge to keep the plant alive garnered from working with farming experts over a 2 year period.
