\nThanks to the Infarm start-up in Berlin, the first vegetable gardens have reached the
\nsupermarkets: a brand new version of the urban vegetable garden concept, and of
\nkm0 agriculture.
\nInside the Metro supermarkets of the German capital the first vertical farms – the only
\npossible in small spaces – have in fact been created, to cultivate salads and aromatic
\nherbs.
\nThe project, started by a group of very young people, aims at expanding such culture
\nto new vegetables in the next future.<\/p>\n
\nThe customers of the supermarkets hosting vertical farms, that will hopefully keep
\ngrowing, pick their own vegetables and then go and pay as for any other products
\nbought at the supermarket.
\nThis represents a real innovation in terms of km0 consumption, in particular for
\nthose who live in big cities, far from rural areas, and cannot not easily purchase
\nproducts directly from farmers.<\/p>\n
\nVegetable gardens inside supermarkets are not the only recent novelty in terms
\nof local fresh food consumption, with a short or no production chain.
\nJust think of the purchasing groups, where several households group together to
\nbuy bio produce, cultivated in their own area, or the massive spread of urban
\nfarms in gardens, on terraces, balconies, or even cultivated fields next to
\nrestaurants, where clients can eat fresh and controlled products.
\nAll this gives us reason to hope in a future where the origins of the food we eat
\nare controlled, certified and\u2026 at a short distance.\n<\/p>\n
\nWould you like to pick you own vegetables and fruit in the neighbourhood
\nsupermarket?
