Located at the intersection of the world’s tech and agricultural capitals, Cityblooms® makes
farming ‘smart.’ The inspiration for Cityblooms came out of a desire to provide sustainably
grown food to a rapidly expanding population. Cityblooms has developed Internet connected and
controlled micro-farms that transform underutilized spaces into highly productive agricultural
hubs. With its time-tested, resource-efficient farming techniques, Cityblooms enables
enterprising ‘agripreneurs’ to produce premium crops with drastic improvements in resource
efficiency. At the end of the day, Cityblooms provides communities with easy and affordable
access to nutritious fresh produce.
Put simply, a Cityblooms micro-farm can be thought of as a modular “growbot” that was designed to be flexible in order to adapt to the challenges inherent in farming the under-utilized nooks, crannies, and rooftops of the urban landscape. Using a series of plug-and-play modular pieces, a micro-farm can be assembled and scaled in a variety of shapes and sizes, while working around existing space constraints and obstacles.
Cityblooms cultivation modules are equipped with environmental controls that enable efficient production in a range of climates and locations. Similarly, cultivation modules can be configured to grow a wide variety of crops. Reservoir modules automate irrigation and plant nutrition making it simple to operate the hydroponic systems at peak efficiency. Using the power of cloud computing, a mobile user-interface gives the farmer remote command and control power while also keeping track of important crop data and operational records. This enables a micro-farm to run autonomously, which reduces the labor required to produce healthy greens and vegetables on a continuous schedule.
