Eddy is feature packed with software (and the hottest thing in tech called machine learning and artificial intelligence) that can guide you through success no matter where you live. And this story on Treehugger captures the essence of what Eddy can do for home growers anywhere.

Read the TreeHugger story here to see how we can change the things we care about. No more complaining on the internet about sugar in your organic bread. Bake your own. No more complaining about pesticides on your veggies and greens. Grow your own.

The Eddy team is super cool in that they’ve also founded an alliance to grow food in space. SpaceX founder Elon Musk has declared he will send people to Mars. What in the world will they eat? Eddy and the Mars Farm Odyssey believe they will build the solution, which is the farm of the future for earth, but also for us people who prefer to stay on earth.
