We are UrbanFarmers
A Spin-off Company from the ZHAW (University of Applied Sciences) in Wdenswil, Switzerland. We are a Clean-Tech Start-up with a focus on People, Planet and Profit, and we combine ecological sustainability, social capital and economic success into a winning and delicious formula. As our motto Good food from the roof suggests, it is our mission is to grow local food in the city, for the city with our eco-sustainable approach. Our production technology is based on the tried and true application of Aquaponics: through the symbiosis of aquaculture and plants, we connect the natural nutrients in the water to a closed-loop water system, growing organic, healthy, and fresh fish and vegetables. Our UrbanFarms sit on flat rooftops and vacant urban spaces in the city Urban Farming as a practical and efficient way to utilize empty spaces for food production in 21st Century cities.

The UrbanFarmers BOX is the Schrebergarten 2.0, a 21st Century incarnation of the Schrebergarten, or garden allotment. Inspired by the container-based concepts of a French Designer, we have developed the UrbanFarmers BOX as a DO-IT-YOURSELF system for growing fresh fish and vegetables in the city. The BOXs modular design is based on a greenhouse equipped with an Aquaponic production system, and is mounted on a used, 20foot open-top Cargo container. Although the combined construction weighs over 3.5 tons, its modular design means it is highly mobile and can be installed easily and temporarily, if required. It fits neatly on vacant parking lots, in-between urban spaces, private back-yards or even on your own flat rooftop. Inside the 5-meter-high UrbanFarmers BOX, proud urban farmers can now grow up to 60kg of fish and 200kg of vegetables throughout the summer months enough to feed a whole family. The interior of the UrbanFarmers BOX comes fully-equipped with the UrbanFarmers Aquaponic Technology System. Included in the package is an operating manual, as well as maintenance and support from the UrbanFarmers team.
