The team at AKER recently put together a sustainable farming kit that can be used to bring agricultural design to a variety of locations. The kit features a wooden set that can be assembled in under an hour to create a miniature farming space on balconies, gardens and roofs.
As farm land grows scarce with urban development on the rise, homemade farming kits provide a viable alternative to adding agriculture to nearly any space. Each kit includes responsibly sourced plywood that is put together to create a miniature farm space of sorts. The space can be used to grow all sorts of produce and products including a bee hive that encourages freeform comb development. The kits allow consumers without an agricultural background become a part of food growth in their community.
