Hexagro Urban Farming Biomimicry Insight

When we first started to develop our products we asked ourselves how could we design a system that was not just another farming machine. We didn't want an ugly but functional PVC hydroponic system. One of those that are very complex to install, require above-average DIY skills but produce large quantities of produce. However, we didn't want one of those very beautiful small and unproductive gadgets that we now see in many homes either.
We did want to develop a system that could have the best of both products and then go even beyond.

Nature came to help and we started learning more and more about a new design approach called biomimicry. Through the study of natural patterns and existing well performing structures created by different billions of living creatures on Earth, we were able to get the right inspiration for the development of a product that was as compact as possible, had the right technical requirement for growing healthy and high-quality herbs and, at the same time, was modular and scalable.

eing able to leverage this knowledge of space optimization and adaptability, we then adopted different cutting-edge technologies for manufacturing and IoT to create a system that was not only able to adapt to any indoor environment, in terms of space and products farmed. But that could also start sensing what's around it and react and adjust cultivation cycles depending on the different environmental conditions where it was installed.

Following the biomimicry guiding principles, our Living Farming Tree is the first modular indoor garden that is completely developed for providing everyone their own customized solution for growing what they want, how much they want. Thanks to the different modules indeed, you can upgrade and downgrade your production based on your own taste and will. Different modules will be also available depending on the type of crop you want to produce. What basil needs for growing efficiently, is very different from what arugula does, and our agronomists know it. This is why for each type of crop, you will be able to set up different lighting conditions, irrigation cycles, and nutrient contents. And no worries! Everything will be fully automated and easy to monitor through our App and guiding tools!
