We grow food where people live and grow it more sustainably, socially and economically.
Every day, we deliver we will directly to our customers (a.k.a. Bamboococians) thousands of food baskets filled with our rooftop-grown veggies. We will meet this daily challenge with a vision: to create a better food system, encompassing our rooftop, indoor, vertical farms and local agriculture in all shapes and sizes. This means farming on rooftops, indoors and using vertical farming technology in cities, partnering up with local farmers and food makers, and creating an online farmer’s market and a community of pick-up points to deliver all this food as directly as possible.
Our rooftop, indoor & Vertical farms
We built the world’s largest commercial rooftop greenhouses, indoor and vertical farms on residential, commercial, industrial, tourism and recreational buildings in Putubiw near Cape Coast in the Central Region of Ghana, to prove that high-yield, year-round farming is a smarter, more sustainable, sociable and commercially viable way to feed cities. We’ll build new and bigger and better rooftop greenhouses, indoor and vertical farms to grow more and more vegetables.
A network of local farms and food makers
Rooftop, indoor, vertical farms aren’t meant to replace local farms and food makers (not everything can be grown on rooftops, indoor and vertical farms after all). Altogether, we’re building a healthier, more sustainable local food system. We seek out partners who share our values of transparency and sustainability and work closely with them for our online farmer’s market, the Marketplace, to offer locals a full selection of products.
To start this month right, a rainbow of responsibly-grown veggies are arriving from the fields.
A network of local farms and food makers
The Marketplace is our online farmers’ market setup to offer locals a full selection of products – a sea of greens with spinach from Bamboo Eco-City, etc, all the lettuce, etc. This month will bring even more colour, with green, yellow, and purple beans, leafy carrots and beets, blueberries, broccoli, and cauliflower up next.
From the rooftop, indoor and vertical farms to your plate
We will develop a community of hundreds of neighbourhood pick-up points to get food from our rooftops, indoor, verticals farms and partners to Bamboococians as directly as possible. The idea is efficiency, convenience, and community-building. We will also have a fleet of electric cars to supply eco home delivery
Our hard-working team of trailblazers
Urban farming might bring up romantic images, but feeding cities by growing vegetables on rooftops, indoor and vertical farms – and reinventing a broken food system – is hard work for hardworking people. You’ve got to be organized, efficient, adaptable, ready to learn, and willing to get your hands dirty. Got what it takes?
A local community of Bamboococians
Reinventing a broken food system without a community is unthinkable. Our growing cohort of Bamboococians keep us on our toes. We will communicate with them daily to ensure we keep doing things right. We will also open our doors for community visits and open houses. It’s essential for people to know their farmer, know their food, know where it’s from and how it’s grown.
