At GreenGrounds, we view food production as a dynamic, interconnected ecosystem of resources, technologies and communities. This understanding shapes our approach. It guides us in transforming urban and peri-urban spaces into thriving, self-sustaining food networks.
Our strategy is built on three key pillars that support planning and implementation.
Urban and peri-urban areas suffer from a significant lack of information on food systems, posing a real challenge for governments and companies to make informed decisions. A thorough understanding of the food landscape, obstacles, and potential is essential. At GreenGrounds, we produce detailed and insightful maps of urban and peri-urban food production and consumption scenarios. Our strategic recommendations are aimed at enhancing the current food system, supporting the review of food and urban planning policies, and identifying prime locations for multi-farm solutions.
Our Sub-services
Demographic Decoding: We analyze each area’s unique challenges and opportunities, considering demographic shifts and climate impacts to create a nuanced understanding of the local context.
Dietary Sync: By aligning local eating habits with production capabilities, we forecast future needs to ensure sustainable growth.
Urban Exploration: Our team maps urban landscapes, focusing on revitalizing brownfields and assessing surrounding political and economic frameworks for optimal planning.
Entrepreneurial Mapping: We identify current and potential hotspots for agricultural innovation, laying the groundwork for targeted initiatives.
Urban agriculture is an exciting frontier, and we’re at the forefront of its exploration. By connecting different types of farms, we design an integrated and fluid food system that seamlessly plugs into the existing urban infrastructure. We deliver detailed calculations, simulations, and projections for diverse food space scenarios, determining the best farm structures. Our expertise empowers our clients to make informed decisions on crops, technology, yield, energy use, land use, and more. Additionally, we design multi-farm ecosystems that integrate diverse business models, ensuring our solutions are not only technically optimized but also economically feasible and tailored to fit our clients’ business models.
Our Sub-services
Interactive Urban Development: Stakeholders engage with our interactive tools to contribute to strategic plans, focusing on local needs, resource management and infrastructural enhancements.
FoodTech Integration Modelling: Our platform showcases various urban farm designs with productivity simulations to maximize space and efficiency.
Infrastructure Transformation: We provide architectural projections that illustrate the transformation of urban areas from gray to green, showcasing the development of new agricultural sites within the agritech park.
Building an urban multi-farm is a complex endeavor that requires a multidisciplinary team, the synergy of disciplines and skills. GreenGrounds brings together the right food specialists, tech pioneers, entrepreneurs, and academic leaders to cover the pivotal steps of constructing an urban food park. We secure locations, the funding of the master planning phase, obtain permits, ensure financing for construction, and supervise the building process and its infrastructure.
Our Sub-services
Partnerships and Innovation Synergy: We collaborate with tech pioneers and academic leaders to introduce cutting-edge solutions to urban agriculture.
Site Selection: Our team identifies, maps, analyzes, and secures brownfields and other urban spaces for food production, ensuring optimal site selection.
Building Masterplan: We mitigate construction risks, identify opportunities, and secure financing for urban food projects.
Data and Systems Integration: We oversee the construction and placement of food tech infrastructure, providing measurable data on water usage reduction, carbon emissions, and enhanced food production demonstrating its impact.
By leveraging our expertise and innovative approach, we’re transforming cities into self-sustaining ecosystems, ensuring food security and creating healthier, cleaner, and thriving urban environments.
