Now is the time to be getting more from less.
More food from fewer resources, and more nutrients from less food.
That was the key message from week 2 in the Virtual Lunch Room when we spoke with CEO of @Biofilta and Melbourne Skyfarm, Marc Noyce.

Great coverage @9NewsMelb
Our self watering, modular, wicking bed modules are designed to get people growing food immediately with little effort and 60% less water than a typical garden bed.
Made in Melbourne, stock available.

Sensational popup urban farm showcasing innovation in urban agriculture. What a great event space!
We have installed 36 permanent #FoodCubes in our courtyard 🌱. Each cube can grow 25kg of produce and will be used to grow herbs and produce! The #BioFilta food cubes are made by #recycled materials and were installed by #thesustainablelandscapecompany @Biofilta #sustainability
Our urban food journey really jumped to the next level being part of Launch Food.
Here is where it started:

It's fantastic to provide solutions some of the extreme climate challenges faced by remote communities.

Our new 2 car park popup farm using recycled plastic 100% recyclable Foodcube system. Self watering, ultra low maintebance. We grew 460kg from this 20m2 space last year.

Newly developed compost recipes are set to make a positive impact on #agriculture in #Tuvalu. The recipes use biomass to create composts that meet the nutritional requirements of local vegetable crops.

Challenging locations need climate adaptive solutions. Foodcube self waterig modules are great for community gardens where food security, water and nutrients are key issues. Tuvalu Food Future project is being implemented thanks to @dfat @ACIARAustralia
Wicking beds are climate adaptive and come into their own when the going gets tough.
Basil seedlings thriving even on this hot day with northerly blowing @Biofilta's two car park urban farm in Fishermans Bend. It's nearing a full year of staggering productivity.
Pop up urban farms make great use of hardstand space like this 21m2 staff garden that can produce 600kg pa for factory workers.
No potable water or maintenance for 6 weeks. Self watering wicking beds. 80% recycled plastic 100% easy to grow food.
Great meeting with @SandroDemaio at Fed Square where the new Foodcube pop-up urban farm was showing how easy growing your own food can be. Urbanag is an important part of our future food security.
Put a ring on it...love it!
An urban farm turning food waste into food for those in need. If we loved this any more we would have to put a ring on it...
