Description
This is Michael Thorp's pitch at The Startup Events.
Foodscape, is a pioneering initiative redefining urban food growing, aiming to revolutionise this practice to enhance wellbeing within cities. The organisation empowers urban dwellers to grow their own fresh, seasonal produce through a unique vertical farming method. This method allows individuals to bypass long waiting lists for allotments, providing immediate access to gardening plots with expert guidance from Foodscape's team.
The core of Foodscape's mission lies in promoting sustainable living, community engagement, and food education. It offers urban farms for personal cultivation, workplace farms that contribute to employee wellbeing, and partnerships with various sectors like property, retail, and education to embed urban farming into different community facets. Their approach not only facilitates fresh produce cultivation in constrained urban spaces but also fosters a deeper connection with nature, aiming to build sustainable, livable cities.
Foodscape's partnerships highlight its commitment to enhancing social and environmental values, supporting sustainability frameworks, and aligning with UN Sustainability Development Goals. The company offers comprehensive services from the design and installation of vertical growing spaces to maintenance and educational programmes, ensuring participants reap the full benefits of urban farming.
