The Team Food project is a social networking site that is aimed at providing a place for food computer builders to share and discuss the plant growing recipes they have built. You can read more about what food computers are at MIT's site for their Open Agriculture initiative here.

What it is:

Open Agriculture is an Open Source Project started by the MIT Media Lab OpenAg. The Open Agriculture Data base is a project intended to enhance that vision, by allowing open sharing of plant recipies between the community Team Food.
