Intensive agriculture has been shown to have devastating effects on the environment, communities, our health and our children’s future. This includes soil degradation, water pollution, loss of biodiversity, and exposure to harmful chemicals. Most importantly, the conventional supply chain it relies on, results in major loss of nutritional, as well as financial value for the consumer, not to mention cheating and adulteration risks. 

With the advent of new technologies enabling disruptive, sustainable and affordable food supply models, home growing, on the other hand, can reduce food miles to zero and provide a sustainable source of fresh produce that is often more nutritious and affordable than store-bought options.

Thanks to these new technologies that can also address some of the challenges of traditional agriculture, homegrowing can become the most viable and efficient way to nurture life in the future. By reducing our dependence on industrial agriculture and bringing food production closer to home, we can create a more sustainable and resilient food system.
