Partnered with Tomorrow Machine, Stockholm based designers; INFARM successfully developed its very own microgreen growing kit. This practical and playful kit comes with the essentials for the indoor growing of Microgreens. Microgreens are young, edible greens from various kinds of vegetables With intense flavour and aroma, they are concentrated with up to 40 times more vitamins and nutrients as compared to its mature plants.
MicroGarden is a foldable greenhouse inspired by the Japanese art of Origami. It is designed to be transparent in order to observe its growing process. Taking only 3 days to sprout in the dark, grown in a agar-agar gel medium. An additional week in the light, microgreens are transformed and ready to be eaten. From seed to plate in 10 days, growing your own food at home is definitely made easy through the innovation of MicroGardens.
"INFARM has a very creative and innovative approach to food sustainability on a community level." James Griffiths, Swiss-based sustainability expert
INFARM seems to be a suitable solution to homegrown produce for most of us living in the city. With its ever continuing research and experimental attempts to better this movement through advance water systems, light spectrums, plant species and applied technologies, we can
choose to be INFARMers by participating in its efforts. Through its Urban Farming (R)evolution, the future of tomorrow relies on the exchanging of self-grown food through a network of INFARMers. In return, reducing the food mile and energy consumed for food to reach our plates. 59
