The smart farm device was developed to grow food in extreme environments and works by inserting paper penetrated with seeds into what the women described as a “waterproof pizza box”.
It was built to sustain 30ft (9.1m) waves and incorporated a solar-powered fan to cool the crop during hot days. As well as salads, they were able to grow vegetables, including radish and cabbage.
The device also helped to avoid excess weight on the vessel, a key plus for the pair.
The device was invented by Andrew Johnson, a former grower from Sancton, East Yorkshire, and Hedley Aylott, a digital innovator.
Andrew, whose previous experience included growing salads for major supermarkets in glass houses near Brough, says it was an “exciting opportunity” to design the “smart farm” for the expedition.
