"Inside a greenhouse in the English countryside, one of the newest inventions from Dyson just went through its first large-scale test: an 18-foot-tall rotating wheel of strawberry plants, designed to ensure each plant gets its share of sunlight."
"James Dyson, who grew up in rural England-and hauled potatoes as one of his first jobs-realized that engineering and design could play a role in helping solve some of the challenges of the food system."
"There is a real opportunity for agriculture to drive a revolution in technology, and vice versa."
"Dyson, the multibillion-dollar brand, is best known for designing products like vacuums and ultra-high-end hair dryers."
Dyson has recently tested an innovative 18-foot-tall rotating wheel designed for strawberry plants inside a greenhouse. This invention aims to ensure adequate sunlight for each plant. The company expanded its entrepreneurial ventures by purchasing a farm in 2013, now managing a total of 36,000 acres in the U.K. James Dyson believes that engineering and design could significantly contribute to resolving challenges in the agricultural sector, emphasizing a technological revolution in agriculture.
