Plant cell culture.

It sounds a bit like something from a sci-fi movie. And I’m sure there are those who will point a finger at this post and exclaim not today, Satan!

However, this is a topic that I recently stumbled across. And it interests me quite a bit, so much so that I will be setting up a small lab to try this in.

The possibilities seem limitless, and let’s face it, if there is a food shortage, being able to grow more plants would be a huge benefit.

From what I have heard, this is a slow process, so ideally, one would already be doing this well before an actual crisis hits. Or at least before one’s supplies are gone.

You could grow just what you needed or grow enough to barter with or even sell. To be blunt, I don’t know enough about this yet to even speak about it with any real knowledge.

That being said, I will be digging into it and suggest you should at least look into it, too. It may not be for you, but you can never learn too much, especially if you’re working towards sustainability, are a prepper or a homesteader or even just an average citizen concerned about being able to provide for yourself or others.

A dictionary definition of it is hard to find. At least I couldn’t pin it down. Lots of other things popped up when I tried to Google it. But then again, Google is more focused on selling advertising and your information than actually providing knowledge, which is sad.

What I did find, though, is this:

Here is a link to the video I ran across. It seems there are multiple videos by the same individual and many more by others.

As with everything else, there will be those who will say you can’t do it or complain that it uses chemicals. All while overlooking the fact that average people are doing this and plants grow using chemical reactions. Overly, simplified for sure but realistic.

Thank you for taking the time to read this. May your ventures be met with success!
