How Plaant got started

Have you ever experienced the frustration of buying greens from the grocery store. The greens are covered in plastic, close to tasteless, pesticide treated, and usually imported many miles with a heavy CO2 impact. Furthermore, when buying potted greens from the store, most people only get to eat very little of them before they turn bad in a few days and are thrown into the trash. This experience is what initially got us interested in finding a better solution for consuming greens, as well as building a community of people who have the same passion towards growing their own delicious greens for cooking.

Research and learning curve

Like with every new idea or project, we started to research growing our own greens more sustainably, and learned about the technology of hydroponic plant science, LED efficiency and sustainable power sources. Getting to know these technologies and the benefits they bring to growing greens was an essential part of understanding the greens themselves and their natural growing cycle.

In this talk you will hear from Tore Tullberg, one of the founders of PLAANT and their journey towards getting more people to grow food in their homes.
