Farming...
One of mankind's greatest achievements was farming! Farming produces endless amounts of food, year after year. In the past, it enabled humans to settle in different places and create communities, create villages, create cities, create civilization as we know it! We even feed our cattle vegetables. We, humans, owe a lot to farming...
Nowadays most of us don't farm anymore, we have large farms that produce huge amounts of food that feed the population and the cattle.. we pay a premium every time we buy vegetables for this convenience. But what if all of this could be over?
Today I'm going to talk about two projects that I would love to do and connect them if I had more space in my backyard...
HomeBioGas
Yesterday I was reading 
FarmBot
FarmBot is an incredible open-source bot that automates the whole gardening process. There are instructions to do one yourself by buying the different parts in your local stores, but to have a top-grade custom one made by the team the prices go from $1,795 up to $2,295, the most expensive one is able to produce lots of food!
It comes with a cool app that allows you to set watering times, the places where you want to plant the different plants, the places to water, it kills all weeds by pressing them into the soil while they are still young, etc... and since the project is open source, one could even automate more things like harvesting and fertilizing! Everything automated, you could be a farmer while watching TV by allowing the bot to do everything.

Now, with these two things in mind, what if we joined them together?
Tech can sometimes be around for years before someone remembers to fuse a couple of them together to make something revolutionary and world-changing! Look at blockchain technology, encryption has been around for decades, chains of blocks have been around for decades too, peer to peer networks have also been around for a while, but only when Satoshi Nakamoto decided to join them all together did Bitcoin appear!
If we fused both HomeBioGas and FarmBot could we have something great? Yes, we could...
HomeBioGas produces gas that can be used to produce electricity, by routing the gas to an electric generator we could produce energy that would power FarmBot. HomeBioGas also produces fertilizer. Since the FarmBot is open source and easily customizable, we could make some sort of gadget, probably with a hose that would spread the fertilizer through the soil! And even without programming skills, the community around FarmBot is quite devoted to the project, I'm sure the community would help out with anything.
With all of this in place, we would get a fully automated fertilized garden powered by renewable energy! And let's not forget that the garden will grow vegetables that can be used as fuel for the bacteria inside the HomeBioGas.
By doing this we would be able to eat vegetables all year round for almost nothing. Vegetables have lots of vitamins, most people need more vitamins in their diets, this system would improve everyone's health!
I don't have enough space in my house to do this, but I send it out to the whole Steem community, maybe one of you wants a cool project to have some fun.

Question of the day: Are you interested in getting any of these? Do you think we could fuse both technologies and make something better?!
