You may have seen examples of this revolutionary way of growing food in some of the projects featured on Inhabitat. Per square foot, it is the most productive form of agriculture on the planet and is an example of a living machine: a self-sufficient assembly of plants and animals that functions like an ecosystem, producing food for people without creating waste products or pollution.9
