Jacob & Home Harvest

A charity recently sent resources to feed British families. Jacob Reese Mog criticized the actions of the charity claiming it was a political stunt. He looks like Egon from the movie 'Ghost busters' so I forgive him for saying that. I don't like having angry feelings towards other people. 

I wondered if there was a way to grow your own food in a box. Plants need light and water to grow, I wondered if there was a box that could give light and get water from the air for plants so they can grow. I wonder if the light from L.E.D s is enough to sustain a plant, lights that are fed by batteries or a USB cable. They would be weaker than the sunlight but they could shine continuously and only emit the light that the plants use, perhaps ultra violet and green L.E.D s could be used. Perhaps I could put a small potato in there and after a month have many potatoes and use less than one killowatt hour of electricity. There could be 30 boxes, so every day I would get one small meal. Perhaps a whole wall could be filled with these small boxes. 

Just a thought, unless I try and make one.
