Urban Cultivator | Brings indoor farming to the hospitality industry

13-10-2022

---

---

The demand for healthy dishes and sustainably and locally produced ingredients is constantly increasing, and cost-saving and environmental concerns are taking an increasingly important place within the restaurant industry. With the technology of vertical farming, this all comes together. And you don’t have to leave your home. By growing 100% organic microgreens and herbs in an Urban Cultivator greenhouse in your own kitchen, you have the freshest and healthiest produce in your home 365 days a year. Straight from the greenhouse, into the pan or onto the plate. There is no more waste, no wastage of food or water and minimal energy consumption. In addition, the greenhouse gives the kitchen an intensely fresh and green look. These are the reasons why indoor farming is already a huge hit in the US catering industry, and certainly in fine dining, and a trend that is only expanding.
