Hydroponics has always sought to maximize food production without the need for soil. Max, however, took it to the next level. Each and every seed was given its own place within a large matrix grid of light and nutrients. Tables and graphs related to each node in that grid were uploaded every day to help him analyze yields in detail.
Max’s work has been able to increase yields by 5.2%, which can be the difference between hundreds of thousands of people starving and being able to eat.
While a call from the Nobel Committee may eventually come, Max doesn’t care.
