VERTIGROW

VertiGrow aims to improve the health and agency of people in slums and crowded urban areas around the world, while cultivating community empowerment and entrepreneurship.  It addresses two global problems: rapid urbanization and malnutrition. Our vertical farming device allows families to grow their own nutritious food on the sides of their homes, walls, or roofs, and is designed to conserve water, reinforce unstable house structures, and maximize growing space.
