Agrihood: A New Trend for Sustainable Communities
Today, an increasing number of people are seeking to live in sustainable communities where social connections and environmental conservation take center stage. It is in this context that the concept of Agrihood emerges, a planned community built around an urban farm. In this article, we will explore this exciting concept and explain how Tower Garden® technology can be integrated into an Agrihood to create an even more sustainable and self-sufficient community.
What Is an Agrihood?
An Agrihood is a planned neighborhood centered around an urban farm, where residents are encouraged to grow their own food and engage in agricultural activities. These communities are designed to foster social interaction and environmental sustainability. Local farmers are often invited to sell their fresh produce to residents, supporting the local economy and reducing the carbon footprint associated with food transportation. One way to enhance the Agrihood experience is by incorporating Tower Garden® systems, which enable easy and efficient vertical gardening.

What Is a Tower Garden®?
A Tower Garden® is a vertical aeroponic gardening system that allows you to grow plants without soil, using only water and nutrients.
Tower Garden® technology is ideal for Agrihoods because it maximizes food production while reducing the carbon footprint associated with traditional farming practices. Our towers are also very convenient for apartment dwellers, as they enable the cultivation of fresh vegetables on balconies or terraces.
Integrating Tower Garden® Technology into an Agrihood
The system consists of a tower, which can hold up to 52 plants in 1 square meter , and a base that contains the water and nutrients necessary for plant growth.
Why Use a Tower Garden® in an Agrihood Project?
Integrating Tower Garden® systems into an Agrihood project offers several advantages:
Space Efficiency: Tower Gardens® are perfect for small spaces, making them an ideal solution for urban Agrihoods.
Efficiency: With a Tower Garden®, you can grow up to 30% more produce compared to traditional gardening methods.
Sustainability: Tower Gardens® use 90% less water than traditional gardening methods, making them an eco-friendly option.
Accessibility: Tower Gardens® are easy to use and maintain, making them accessible to everyone, including children and the elderly.
Tower Garden® technology can be easily integrated into an Agrihood because it is cost-effective, durable, easy to use, and easy to maintain. Our towers can be installed in public spaces, such as community gardens, to enable residents to participate in local food production.
In addition to being a source of healthy, local food, the towers can also serve as an educational tool for children. Kids can learn how plants grow and how to care for them, encouraging them to adopt sustainable farming practices throughout their lives.
Conclusion :
In conclusion, the Agrihood is an exciting trend that can help create sustainable communities and support the local economy. Tower Garden® technology is an excellent option for maximizing food production in a limited space while reducing the carbon footprint. By integrating Tower Garden® technology into an Agrihood, residents can enjoy a source of local and healthy food while contributing to environmental and social sustainability.
