Announces the launch of UrbanFoodFarms.com, a highly efficient mini ecosystem adapted to city space. Urban food farms are complete greenhouse kits designed with the latest technology from Israel. These are small-sized, redesigned versions of large farms and can produce six to nine times more produce than the same space cultivated directly on the ground. Hence, the yield per area, be it vegetables, fruit or herbs, through urban food farms is always greater than conventional farms.

The food industry is set to revolutionize with the introduction of urban food farms, as people grow vegetables on the garden, rooftop or even the parking lot. Installing these also offers advantages, such as fresh organic vegetables and herbs, convenient vegetable cultivation using easy-to-use automated systems, soil-less growing, anywhere installation, water savings, resistance to diseases, bugs and user errors, and reduced household carbon footprint. This sustainable, environment-friendly solution also decreases food safety risks and increases food health. Besides, it also educates children and adults in farming and green practices. An 8*8 system can produce enough vegetables for a family of 5. In urban food farms, plants attain vertical growth of up to 17 feet.

Urban food farms work by conserving heat and filtering out the harmful sun rays. They also reduce the farm to table process to zero, while providing regular supply of fresh vegetables. The coco coir also helps in maintaining water, oxygen and nutrient balance. According to Rony, Urban Food Farms owner, “Every household should own or have access to one of our sustainable food systems.”

Some useful applications of urban food farms include: providing regular supply of fresh, locally produced vegetables for a family of four or five; facilitating local production of organic vegetables for restaurants and hotels and donation of excess produce to the needy; donating food farms to food banks, hunger fighting organizations, homeless shelters, synagogues, church, school, community garden and other establishments. Food farms can also be installed in low income areas to increase food health.
