Growy
We see a world that can still be won. This would be a place where the earth is not depleted and all proceeds are divided fairly. Tasty, healthy, and affordable food would be available for everyone. It would feature greener cities and more space for nature. We are cultivating this world through our Next-Level Farms, where we grow nutrients in the form of leafy greens, herbs, and microgreens in a climate-positive system. We control all Growy farms and houses from a central cockpit in Amsterdam where we have dashboards for everything – crop growth, technology, finances, etcetera. Data is collected, monitored, and adjusted. We do everything to deliver on three promises: • Next-level tasty • Next-level healthy • Next-level affordable Tasty, safe, and nutritious food is a human right. It’s the basis for health and dignity. We contribute to this right via a bag of affordable, tasty, and healthy leaves. Chef's Farm (www.chefsfarm.nl) is using our technology to grow the most delicious microgreens for many restaurants in and around Amsterdam, Kuwait and soon also Singapore!. 🥬
