Yessir, with the scalable [Food Server](http://abcnews.go.com/Technology/food-computer-caleb-harper-inspires-us-future-farmers/story?id=38742368), a box the size of a shipping container stuffed with LEDs, hydroponics, aeroponics and other neat stuff, you can grow everything you need, whether you live in New York City or sub-Saharan Africa.

I think it is Way Cool, even if it costs you $58 to grow a head of lettuce.
