Description of Challenge
Food security, sustainable agriculture, urban farming, food production, nutritionGrowing food in a Garden Tower allows us to save space, save water, and grow food efficiently and sustainably, even in an urban setting or where there is not enough space for large-scale farming.
Solution
A simple, sustainable way to grow food in a rural or urban setting.
Why grow food in a Garden Tower?
* Saves space – you can generally grow about 40-50 plants on a 1.5 sqm space.
*Saves water – since the plants are located above each other, any surplus water drips on to the next plant and is easily collected at the bottom
* Pest control – since the plants are grown on a separate soil, there are much less diseases and pests to tackle.
*Urban solution – suitable for balconies, roofs, or very small yard where there is not enough space for large-scale food production.
*Accessibility – accessible solution for people with disabilities.
