AquaCrops Utrecht

The Netherlands is a country which has agriculture as one of its primary exports, which means it actually imports a lot of its food. AquaCrops Utrecht emerged as a solution to reduce the Netherlands’ reliance on imported produce and promote local consumption of local produce. AquaCrops is an urban agriculture project that combines the cutting edge technology of fiber-optic daylight collectors and hydroponics in a vertical farming setup. AquaCrops also features a shop where produce is sold as well as an educational exhibition aimed at informing children about the benefits of urban agriculture and its increasing importance in today’s era.
