As emerging lighting and automation technology plant the seeds for
urban farming, a growing number of entrepreneurs are getting green thumbs
In the workshop of clean technology startup incubator Greentown Labs outside of Boston, there’s a piece of equipment you would not have found a few years ago: an indoor garden.
The garden is a testing lab for Grove Labs, a company designing an appliance to grow leafy green vegetables indoors. Its two founders, who conceived of the business while students at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, envision people’s homes having “groves,” or spots to grow their own fresh food. The company, which recently raised $2m in “seedling” funding, says it intends to help people grow food productively at home using sensor-controlled gardens and smart phone apps.
