Monthly Open Vertical Farm Tour

Featured image

Want to know all about hands-on Vertical Farming? Join our open tour! Every third Tuesday of the month in A Lab, from the 4 pm meet at The Coffee Virus.

A Lab Vertical Farm explores the way we will grow food in the 21st century. How can new technologies help us build a more sustainable, clean and safe ecosystem around food production and consumption? The crops from this farm will be used by The Coffee Virus. The data collection will add to our future knowledge base. Next to this, the farm will also educate 500 children about the future of food and healthy living.
Check out this informative movie for more info: https://vimeo.com/232490917

Want to become a vertical farmer and volunteer in this amazing project? Email info@a-lab.nl for info and an invitation to the next meeting. We already have an amazing list of people that are helping, but are always looking for more!
