At Australian Urban Growers, we are thrilled to announce the upcoming unveiling of our latest innovation: our Scalable, Simple-to-Deploy Modular Vertical Farming Assembly. This groundbreaking project, generously funded by the Queensland State Government’s Social Enterprise Growth Grants, is set to revolutionise urban farming, making it more accessible and sustainable than ever before.
We invite you to be part of this movement towards a more sustainable future.
Transforming Urban Agriculture
Our modular vertical farming system is designed to maximise efficiency and minimise space requirements. Farmers can produce up to 400 lettuces weekly within a footprint smaller than a large ute. This compact, high-yield system is a game-changer, lowering the barrier to entry for urban farmers and enabling more people to engage in sustainable agriculture.
A Collaborative Triumph
The success of this project is a testament to the power of collaboration and innovation. Since its inception in November 2024, we have combined expertise from various sectors to create a state-of-the-art farming solution. Our collaborators, including suppliers, control automation specialists, irrigation experts, and rapid manufacturing, have all played a crucial role in this collective effort. We invite you to be part of this inspiring collaboration.
Accelerating Sector Growth
This innovative farming assembly is not just about producing fresh, locally-grown produce; it’s about fostering skill development and accelerating the growth of the vertical farming sector. By making vertical farming more attainable, we are empowering a new generation of urban farmers and helping to create a more sustainable and resilient food system. The potential impact on urban farming is immense, and we are excited about the positive changes it will bring.
Expanding Educational Opportunities
One of the most exciting aspects of our modular vertical farming system is its potential to transform educational environments. With its compact design and ease of deployment, we can quickly roll out these systems to more schools, providing students with hands-on learning opportunities in sustainable agriculture. This initiative will enhance students’ understanding of where their food comes from and inspire future generations to pursue careers in agriculture and environmental science.
Supporting Food Insecure Communities
Beyond education, our vertical farming system holds immense potential for addressing food insecurity, particularly in remote communities. By deploying these modular systems in food-insecure areas, we can provide reliable access to fresh produce, improving nutrition and overall well-being. Our goal is to begin work with these remote communities sooner, leveraging the efficiency and scalability of our system to make a meaningful impact.
Building Skills and Creating Opportunities
The development and deployment of our modular vertical farming assembly offer numerous opportunities for skill development across various fields. From engineering and automation to horticulture and water management, this project brings together a diverse range of expertise, fostering innovation and collaboration. Individuals can develop valuable skills in high demand by engaging with this project, contributing to personal and professional growth.
A Sustainable Future
At Australian Urban Growers, sustainability is at the heart of everything we do. Our modular vertical farming system is designed with sustainability, utilising energy-efficient technologies and water-saving irrigation methods. By reducing the environmental footprint of agriculture, we are contributing to a more sustainable future for our planet.
Join Us for the Unveiling
We invite you to join us in August as we officially unveil our modular vertical farming system. This event will provide an opportunity to see firsthand how this revolutionary tool can transform urban agriculture and create new opportunities for sustainable farming practices. You’ll also have the chance to meet our team of experts and learn more about the technology and innovation behind this project.
Stay tuned for more details on this exciting event. With Australian Urban Growers, let’s build a more sustainable, accessible, and resilient food system together.
