We explored the big challenges we will face in the next 20 years, and propose a solution which could be implemented with future technologies. We identified that food demand will be a huge problem, and that the current food system is very damaging and unsustainable. Babylon is the future home farming system that enables people to grow their own food at home, thereby relieving stress on the food system and promoting well-being.
