Israel’s Flux helps feed the world with indoor gardens

Flux, a new Israeli startup, is developing new ways to grow food. In an age of global warming where more and more of the sources of ground water are drying up or becoming brackish, Flux might just save the world.

The main product introduced by Flux is called Eddy. It’s a small device which does not require planting in outdoor soil to grow food. In this way everyone can have a home garden indoors. So let’s say that you live in an apartment or in a desert, you can still make your own tomatoes or greens.

But that’s not all. Eddy also integrates modern technologies which allow the user to monitor and control the growing environment. Sensors detect the levels of light, humidity and other factors related to successful growth and make the necessary adjustments accordingly.

It also checks the weather and sends users updates to let them know if they need to take any actions themselves. In this way, Eddy can be used even by people who do have plenty of room for a garden, but who lack either a green thumb or the time needed to properly tend to one.

The startup boasts that Eddy “makes it apple-pie easy to grow your own fresh produce –– at home.”
