ROMI, Robotics for microfarms

The long-term goal is to develop robotic tools and AI systems to monitor, model and manage food-producing ecosystems. The ecosystems that we are targeting are small, highly diversified, organic farms. The tools that we are designing will have to intervene in this complex natural environment and will have to gather the necessary data that allows to track and predict the health of the plants and the ecosystem. These new tools may help increase food production AND the biodiversity of farming systems while at the same time lowering the physical effort needed to run a farm.

DREAM

Many people take pleasure in growing plants. Maybe you do, too. If so, you probably know how difficult it is to know whether your plant is doing well, or whether it requires some extra care. And what care.

Mi-Hy – Microbial Hydroponics: Circular Sustainable Electrobiosynthesis

The Mi-Hy project is pioneering the integration of microbial fuel cells (MFC), microbial electrolysis cells (MEC) and hydroponics combining technological innovation with ecological principles.

Good Old Manuals (GOM)

In a time where archives are being lost and hard disks corrupted, it is necessary to preserve and let the public navigate easily through period documentation using modern technologies. The Good Old Manuals project is designed to research and document the market gardening practices from the 19th century.

The Midori Farm: blending tradition and technology for 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. 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.
