About the green house

The greenhouse at the Metabolic Lab is a place where differe nt water-saving methods of food cultivation are being tes ted, both in soil and directly in water. The aim is to save water, grow he althy organic food and keep production costs low. The systems are therefor e built as much as possible using simple, easily sourced materials, so tha t others can build them themselves as well.

One of the systems in t he greenhouse is aquaponics, in which fish and plants wor k together. The nitrogen-rich waste produced by the fish is converted into nutrients for the plants. The plants, in turn, clean the water, which the n flows back to the fish. This creates a natural cycle.

The greenho use also experiments with a range of other cultivation methods, all focuse d on organic and sustainable food production in urban areas.

Grower Andrei Becca has eight years of experie nce growing plants, including two years working in one of the most advance d greenhouses in the Netherlands. He is currently also pursuing a master’s degree at Wageningen University, focusing on water conservation and manag ement.
