Instagreen.eu InstaGreen provides the healthiest and freshest local food experience.

InstaGreen grows vegetables, herbs and micro-greens in the middle of the city, without soil, only a little water and no pesticides, improving food quality and freshness while reducing waste and food miles. Once the produce is ready to eat, we bring them to the location of consumption where they are harvested by the chef cooks or their customers, right before enjoying the tastiest, freshest, healthiest and most sustainable produce possible, providing a unique experience.

BIG NEWS: InstaGreen has been selected!
We’re 1 of 10 SMEs in Hungry EcoCities – S+T+ARTS
In the next 14 months we will be working together with:

→ Innovators
→ Architects
→ Artists
→ AI Experts
→ Universities
→ And many other amazing specialists & creatives

Our goal is to come up with fresh & real solutions, for the challenge of indoor climatization for local urban farms, using minimal resources.

Indoor farming and hydroponic cultivation bring along many benefits for the cultivation of local sustainable food.

But this type of Controlled Environment Agriculture (CEA) can use a lot of energy to create the perfect indoor climate.

This challenge aims to explore innovative, low-tech climatization control systems that can be prototyped and tested.

Using natural phenomena and biomimicry, we want to develop a cost-effective, highly energy-efficient
solution for small indoor farms.

Feel free to reach out if you have any questions or suggestions in relation to this exciting project!

This project is developed as part of the Hungry EcoCities S+T+ARTS Residency which has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon Europe research and innovation programme under grant agreement 101069990.

Question: if we can feed 60 billion land animals,
why cant we feed 8 billion humans?

Food loss at scale (*source: our world in data):
🌽 Half of the worlds habitable land is used for agriculture
🐄 80% of which for animals + their food.

While only 17% of our calorie supply comes from animals
And only 38% of our protein supply

Today, it is International Day of Awareness of Food Loss and Waste Reduction

Do you want to reduce your food waste?

→ Simply start by eating more delicious plants!

Enjoy delicious food, while doing good!
🌱 Microgreens are off course our personal favourites :)

💡 What is better: High-Tech or Low-Tech ?
How do you know what’s the right answer?
…. Right-Tech, is our answer!

Our definition for Right-Tech for our innovations:
Only use High-Tech where it adds crucial value
And use Low-Tech for everything else

Often the Low-Tech solutions are:
→ Low cost
→ Low maintenance
→ Simple, easy, straightforward to use
→ Robust / fool proof
→ And stil repairable

With this in mind constantly, we designed our cultivation systems.
Using only “High-Tech” where crucial: LED-lights and automated irrigation.
And let natural things such as gravity and capillarity do the rest.

👩‍🌾 Saving microgreen farmers huge amounts of energy, water and time!

What Low-Tech solutions are you a real fan of?

Red Veined Sorrel - Next level microgreens 🌱
An amazing microgreen for summer salads and soups.
Surprisingly strong in flavour and nutrient powers:

It’s not only a beauty to look at with its elegant red veins.
It also brings this zesty-citrus sorrel flavour to the table.
Both sour, and slightly bitter. An amazing flavour enhancer!

It has the highest concentration of Beta Carotene.
Your body converts this into vitamin A.
Making it a powerful source for antioxidants!

To grow red veined sorrel, you need to be patient.
Take 3-4 weeks at least for the micro-greens.
And make sure the plant has enough access to nutrients

But once you get there….
Enjoy these rich beauties!

🌎 Today it’s
A day earlier than last year.
But this trend is not our destiny!

Humanity is currently using nature 1.7 times faster,
than our planet’s ecosystems can it.

But we can !

Check out the many ways to be part of the

Temperatures are rising towards 40°C these days! 🔥
💧 To help you stay healthy & hydrated,
try this borage microgreen - cucumber - lemonade!

Per litre of water:
🎾 zest and juice of 1 organic lime
🍋 juice of half an organic lemon
🍋slices of the other half of lemon
🥒 slices of half a cucumber
🌱 home grown borage microgreens, lightly crushed

Let sit for an hour, so the flavours get to their max.
Serve with lots of ice-cubes!

🍃 Also great in this mix are lemon basil microgreens

Extra cool…. freeze some borage flowers in the ice-cubes

Stay Healthy & Hydrated!

Transforming Team-Building!

It’s the patchwork that societies are build upon:

Local ecosystems and communities.

The same goes for teams in companies.

It’s crucial to know each other well.

Know who to reach out to, for what.

How to support one another.

Great teams are build through interaction.

Preparing for a team building workshop with Adela from HuertosintheSky @ yet another amazing company in Barcelona that stimulates their team members to develop a green thumb through entertaining activities!

So happy to share these really fun and informative days with amazing people!

Picture taken at a team building workshop we did at Edpuzzle back in April….. when it wasn’t 30*C yet!

R&D is crucial to grow your plants & business.

It can also be time & resource intensive, so

we like to be smart with our experiments.

For instance, when testing organic nutrients,

we try multiple species at various stages of growth.

From microgreens, to adult plants to edible flowers.

During testing we are never afraid of ‘failure’.

It’s OK when things don’t grow as planned.

Actually ….. It’s even better:

It gives much more useful information

to know what to improve.

What we do:

→ Try out many things

→ Fail fast

→ Learn fast

→ Grow fast

We even made this a core value:

→ Make mistakes, learn & grow

What are some of your best learnings from ‘failure’?

Can't believe this was already 5 EPIC years ago!! 🌱🌱🌱🌱🌱

Kevin, the world famous Epic gardener Epic Gardening visited us in Barcelona Spain.... back in 2019.
When we were just about to scale up our microgreen business again.
Building prototypes of our automated low-tech cultivation systems and preparing our move to the new location.

5 years fast forward at InstaGreen….
📗That farm grew out to be a training centre! Growing global by growing local!! 🌏
⛳We are helping entrepreneurs all over Europe and beyond to set up their own local farming business.
