About the greenhouse

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

One of the sys tems in the greenhouse is aquaponics, in which fish and p lants work together. The nitrogen-rich waste produced by the fish is conve rted into nutrients for the plants. The plants, in turn, clean the water, which then flows back to the fish. This creates a natural cycle.

Th e greenhouse also experiments with a range of other cultivation methods, a ll focused on organic and sustainable food production in urban are as.

Grower Andrei Becca has eight years o f experience growing plants, including two years working in one of the mos t advanced greenhouses in the Netherlands. He is currently also pursuing a master’s degree at Wageningen University, focusing on water conservation and management.
