The OP video and the TED Talk videos are good but out of date. Check this out:

Now back to notes on the OP video:

For a kit: $2,900, in 2017, coming down over time (up to 9x more cost effective with the larger 2019 garden versions in the short video above). Does not include water or electricity or wifi. Save $1000 by building your own parts (it helps to have a 3D printer). Almost everything is off the shelf. Open source and completely customizable. The software will only get better. Be independent off grid with a water source (rain barrel, tank, pond, river, etc) and only needs the 2 solar panels ($100 each? or $50 each? and/or with the batteries?). The 4x8 garden should easily provide enough vegetables for one person all year. Getting all your calories is another story. They're working on a bigger tougher 8x16 version to feed a family of 4.
