Solar-Powered Oasis To Bring Food To Desert Cities

"Some Middle Eastern countries import more than 90% of their food. It's a situation that is getting more expensive and more energy-intensive as cities grow. OAXIS is a conceptual design for a modular set of prefab greenhouses, covered in solar panels, which would extend in a straight line into the desert away from a city. Since the designers wanted to create the smallest carbon footprint possible, they chose to forgo usual transportation and create a unique conveyor system that would deliver produce without the use of any fossil fuels."
