Indiegogo project Altifarm promotes urban farming

An ongoing Indiegogo campaign from Mumbai, India wants to bring the dream of growing fresh produce to city dwellers. Called Altifarm, it offers the complete home farming experience with 1m² spread over four tiers. Enverde, Altifarm’s creator, promises it takes just five minutes to setup the shelves and with mobility and grow light expansion packs, you can use Altifarm indoors or outdoors and move them around with ease. If you worry about keeping up with watering the plants, Altifarm has its own self-watering system. If you want one of these, you can back the project at US$199 (around CA$260) and you’ll get the basic kit. The suggested retail price of the Altifarm is US$329 (around CA$430).
