Midori Farm: where tradition meets technology in urban agriculture
At Midori Farm, we’re combining the time-honored French Method of market gardening with modern tools to bring sustainable farming to urban spaces.
Sept. 25 2024
Located on a rooftop in Paris, our 80 m² farm is more than just a place to grow vegetables—it’s a living research hub.
By integrating robotics and AI, we’re enhancing traditional techniques, making farming less physically demanding and more efficient. Our goal is to inspire the future of small-scale, diversified microfarms in peri-urban areas.
Here’s what makes our farm unique:
• We use the 19th-century French Method, known for dense planting and short crop cycles, to maximize productivity on our 80 m² rooftop space in Paris.
• By integrating robotics and AI, we’re developing tools that reduce the physical demands of tasks like weeding, sowing, and transplanting.
• Our camera systems help monitor crop cycles, improving planning and boosting efficiency for urban farms.
• We’re building a collaborative space where farmers, scientists, engineers, and artists come together to exchange ideas and foster innovation.
• Our goal is to serve as a model for future microfarms in peri-urban areas, demonstrating how small-scale agriculture can thrive in cities.
