Excerpt:

In a world where farm-to-table has become a catchphrase, hotels around the world are joining the movement with their own produce-rich gardens and farms. Chefs and F&B outlets are looking to find new ways to grow nutrient-rich, high-yield organic food, and this is what Agriculture Box offers with the latest urban farming growing technologies.

It’s not just happening at hotels located near leafy pastures and fertile fields. Urban properties by the biggest chains are getting into the act with gardens augmenting their kitchens’ shopping lists.

With new methods to promote organic farming, the business offers user-friendly, ergonomic and transportable solutions. Agriculture Box’s exclusive urban farming systems are made with premium materials such as European timber and dried Spruce wood from sustainable sources, certified by the Programme for the Endorsement of Forest Certification (PEFC).

Using long-lasting materials, the offering is durable against the strong sun and humidity encountered during the summer months in arid environments. Agriculture Box’s systems are both waterproof and UV proof, and their soil and compost are carefully selected.

The company also provides its proprietary organic micro-algae fertiliser to support plant health, with most of their seeds coming from France. Their composting system, specifically designed for outside use, compliments products to allow for self-sufficiency.

Agriculture Box’s outdoor, food-graded, fiberglass anaerobic fermentation and aerobic decomposition system facilitates the production of rich compost in four weeks using a double system: controlled anaerobic fermentation with Effective Micro-Organism (EM) and a traditional decomposition.
