Google has a special food team that has 185 restaurants around the world, with only 30 at headquarters and more than 100 thousand meals a day. What the canteen does is not feed the staff, but to make the food a source of work. And it's in Google, and it's sure that you can't buy food and cook it. The company's food related project, called Farm to Table, aims to impart knowledge on the food industry, and the highlight of which is a container called the Leafy Green Machine (lush green machine). The container is actually hydroponic garden, and there is one at Google headquarters. Although there are many organic vegetable gardens in Google, the container is used almost anywhere, even if the land has been polluted. A pink LED lamp in the box provides a light source for plants. Plants are uncultivated and grow on vertical water culture shelves with high spatial utilization, and one box can grow hundreds of plants. Plants can mature in three weeks, and a box of plants is enough for Google headquarters for a week. In addition to planting, there are also free cooking classes within Google, which is said to be one of the most attractive benefits, and the field is full.
