We had the honour to go and talk to Elaine Kung from Agritecture. She has been the project manager, leading the Plus.Farm efforts

A project by Agritecture

We already met Agritecture! Founded in 2014, Agritecture Consulting (formerly Blue Planet Consulting) provides advisory services in the design, planning, implementation and operation of urban agriculture projects.

Their vision is to create a world where commercial urban agriculture is economically feasible, reduces the carbon impact of the food system, and improves food security. And the Plus.Farm works perfect in that vision!
