About the greenhouse

The greenhouse at the Metabolic Lab is a place whe re different water-saving methods of food cultivation are being tested, both in soil and directly in water. The aim is to save wate r, grow healthy organic food and keep production costs low. The systems ar e therefore built as much as possible using simple, easily sourced materia ls, so that others can build them themselves as well.

One of the sy stems in the greenhouse is aquaponics, in which fish and plants work together. The nitrogen-rich waste produced by the fish is conv erted into nutrients for the plants. The plants, in turn, clean the water, which then flows back to the fish. This creates a natural cycle.

T he greenhouse also experiments with a range of other cultivation methods, all focused on organic and sustainable food production in urban ar eas.

Grower Andrei Becca has eight years of experience growing plants, including two years working in one of the mo st advanced greenhouses in the Netherlands. He is currently also pursuing a master’s degree at Wageningen University, focusing on water conservation and management.
