Nouvi
Nouvi bridges the gap between black thumb to green and improves access to better food and nutrition.
Nouvi is new way to grow fresh food through a smart, touch and gesture sensing, hydroponically grown plant, in a handmade and sophisticated designed vessel. Just, pick your plant and fill with water and let Nouvi do all the work. The hydroponic growing method used is Kratky, which requires no electricity. Nouvi is able to communicate through light patterns if it needs more sunlight, a cooler environment, or if it needs more nutrient solution to grow. It communicates its needs for busy people to grow fresh herbs, fruit and vegetables with a simple touch and through the app.
