We’re building an aeroponic vertical farm and you’re invited to come build it with us!
Growstack.org is an open-source project that enables and kickstarts vertical farming, so anyone can start growing high quality, pesticide-free vegetables year-round and with full control. Now Symbion is joining the mission towards technology-based sustainable agriculture!
The vertical farm is based on the Danish startup Next Food’s open aeroponic technology and they will be present to assist in the build during the event.
This build event invites you to get hands-on with advanced vertical farming technology and no prior knowledge is required at all. We will go from a pile of different grow-, rack- and technology components to a fully working aeroponic system that is already growing plants in a matter of only a few hours.
There will be a limited number of seats for 3 different teams:
- Assembly team (building the racks and tubing)
- Planting team (prepping the plants and germination)
- Hero team (documenting the build process, so anyone can replicate. Hero, because documentation is the real hero behind any successful open-source project)
If you didn’t make it for one of the three teams in time, you are still welcome to join the event as a Hang-out. Recording video, meeting new people and keeping spirits high is very valuable too :) Also, we have several beverages that needs to be consumed.
