A Scot in a kilt. Growing microgreens in Sweden. Every Monday and Thursday, Graham sets off from his farm in Frillesås, Sweden with a truckload of freshly harvested microgreens grown in his indoor vertical farm. Originally from Scotland, Graham turns heads when supermarket shoppers realize the man arranging his produce on shelves is dressed in a kilt.
Anneke Stolk, co-founder of Instagreen, was invited by TEDx Barcelona to micro-gardening and to what she calls the big PLUS. We, individuals, have more power to change the world than we think. Everything depends on our many, small decisions.
InstaGreen has a clear goal: to supply everyone with fresh and nutritious food, while doing good to the planet and people. We believe deeply in creating a business that is environmentally, economically and socially viable, that has just a few strong values in its DNA. Our core values are what binds us all and guide us forward.
Find out why microgreens are called the new 'super-food', how you can grow them and why we use a large part of our urban farm in Barcelona to grow them too.
It is probably weird to hear this from a company that has one of the modernest way of creating greens, yet contrary to the popular believe: high tech is not always the answer to your problems. We believe that low-tech is often the best way to go.
