Babylon micro-farms is an indoor hydroponic farm that designs low-cost micro-farms in order to bring hydroponic to the general public. Alexander Olesen, Co-Founder of the company explains his mission.
"We became determined to develop a technology-based solution reducing the cost, complexity, and infrastructure requirements to grow fresh food. This technology is the backbone of Babylon’s platform today, the R&D has taken a dedicated effort for over 4 years. Our commitment to building Babylon into a successful company required an unforeseen amount of perseverance and we ran into a few issues along the way."
Right now a team of 23 people is working towards the company's goal of creating an integrated platform for modular vertical farming.
"The pandemic has focused a very bright light on the frailty of our food systems and supply chain. The growth of the indoor farming industry has been rapidly escalating as a result, as demonstrated by the enormous sums being raised by companies that are actively involved in addressing the vulnerabilities and trying to ensure a safer, more sustainable and hopefully a more equitable food system for the future".
