MBIC vegetables literally come out of the ground. They literally grow on trees. Why do you need a 3d printer when carrots have been coming out of the ground for thousands of years. Holy shit
They’re Qatar-based student, and vegetables does not come from ground or tree, but shipping container lol.
I think their idea is noble, but really, hydroponics and vertical farm could potentially scale better than cultivate plant cell and print it, and also a tried and tested method for idk millions of years.
I’ve seen the number of carrots you can get from a meter squared, I honestly felt like they never saw a vegetable patch in their life. Qatar? Well then…

Both take water. I’m guessing Qatar doesn’t have a whole lot of that.
Everything takes water, they have desalination plants for that. Hydroponic’s goal is both reduce water and land use.

Growing plant cells in culture also requires water. Cells require water

But imagine the possibilities, you could have square carrots, or diamond shaped carrots made out of non carrot material for science
Imagine fresh vegetables on a space mission.
It’s Qatar.
A place not fit for a mass human settlement.
It, like Phoenix, is a testament to mans hubris.
