Designed to Grow

More than 50 years ago, we noticed a tiny plant growing in a piece of abandoned stone wool on a building site. Just as it's designed to do, nature had found a way to grow.

A system that promises high yields of consistent, high-quality fresh food and medicinal crops to feed and treat the world's growing population.
