We want to build a rooftop farm in the heart of
Kensington Market, and the Modular Farms Co.
have created a design for us.
Their controlled-environment indoor farms use
energy efficient LED grow lights and 95% less water
than field grown produce.
The Kensington Market design will include:
- 5000 sq ft of indoor growing space capable of
producing more food than 12.5 acres of
conventionally farmed produce, year round.
- 800 sq ft of greenhouse space allowing for the
production of larger fruiting cultivars.
We will be bringing the food-miles of our greens
down from the national average of 4000 km to
about 100 ft!
This means a massive reduction in carbon footprint
and guarantees the freshest, healthiest produce
possible.
This project will be a flagship for global Urban
Agriculture and we are so excited!
