About Lux Foods.

Lux Foods is redesigning plants and growing systems around the food people want to eat. Starting with tomatoes, the company brings plant biology, robotics, and the production system into the same design process.

Based in San Francisco, Lux is building toward a future in which exceptional whole foods are abundant, affordable, and grown closer to the people who eat them.

This blog explores the science, engineering, and ideas behind that work—from plant biology to useful machines, and from production systems to the possibilities they open up.

Questions behind the work

• What would it take to make excellent food abundant?
• Which physical constraints need to be worked around—and which can be redesigned?
• How do more capable models become more useful machines?
• What changes when biology becomes part of the engineering process?
