Modular Greenhouse Units (MGU) - may be stand-alone or part of a house. The key is to open source robust growing systems, and potentially, high-value crops such as herbs - for self-sufficiency and market applications.

Nick says: Inflatable greenhouses such as http://www.isawitonthebox.com/tv/this-morning/inflatable-greenhouse-as-seen-on-this-morning would eliminate frame material and make for quick easy setup. The only trick would be creating a good seal around the air columns. Most greenhouse film is a UV resitant type of polyethelyne and can be "welded". Here is a http://www.delviesplastics.com/welding.htm kit for $288. There may be better ways of doing seems but the concept seems to have potential.
