The Impact Farm
Flatpack hydroponic garden delivers 538-square-feet of fresh food to cities.
The Impact Farm is designed to take advantage of under-utilized urban space for resource-efficient production of high quality and pesticide-free greens. It combines the most innovative technologies and food production methods with sustainable building materials and design for disassembly.The concept is to give new life to a used shipping container and use it as a tool for transportation and as a central part of the structure of the vertical farm. With a production area of just 538 square feet, the Impact Farm can easily squeeze into tight, urban spaces. The flatpack design can be used for both commercial and community needs. The farm can be unpacked and installed in 10 days. The unit is self-sufficient in clean energy and water by harvesting sun and wind, and collecting rainwater. The goal is to create an economically sustainable BM that can both ensure resource-efficient local food production, create green jobs and increased local economic activity.
