for indoor urban farming

The main topic of my Masters Thesis Project was urban sustainability and self-sufficiency through home food production systems. The Gourmet Garden project seeks to activate balcony spaces and the households environments by enabling the production of vegetables, herbs, spices and sprouts. The system mainly composes of  different grower kits connected to a supply service for the plant packs.  The greens for the packages are sorted based on functional and kitchen style guidelines and are arranged into different assortments.
