This flatpack urban farm only takes up 538 square feet, but its creators say that it can yield as much as 6 tonnes (6.6 tons) of fresh produce per year.
No, really. This hydroponic farm comes in a flatpack, just like the entertainment center you bought from IKEA.
Danish company Human Habitat has developed a hydroponic garden system that requires just 538 square feet of space to grow fresh food. Its two story design doubles the amount of food that can be grown per square foot. Not only can their flatpack urban farm be squeezed into almost any available space in cities, it could also be set up anywhere access to fresh food is needed.
It is called an Impact Farm by its creators, Mikkel Kjaer and Ronnie Markussen. The flat pack hydroponic garden design allows it to be shipped virtually anywhere. The Impact Farm can be unpacked, set up and be in operation in just 10 days. and is suitable for both commercial and community needs. It is capable of growing greens (and microgreens), vegetables, herbs, and fruiting plants in its two-story frame. The produce is grown hydroponically, which means the only thing necessary for growing fresh food locally is water.
