Integrating RAS into a holistic indoor farming system

Organic Garden aims to set up a network of land-based farms that synergistically and sustainably produce fish, vegetables, insects, algae, and mushrooms, which are then sold directly to canteens across Germany, as Johannes Blei, chief farm and financial officer, explains.

"Organic Garden farms guarantee a true 'farm-to-fork' business by integrating the production of the farm with our sales channels," the Organic Garden team explains.

"Our holistic approach has already convinced well-known investors like Thomas Müller, the Bayern Munich and Germany footballer, as well as industrial giants such as the agricultural machinery manufacturer Krone, to participate in Organic Garden. The Organic Garden concept of having control over your production and managing the sales channels at the same time is absolutely unique in Germany."

"All modules from the Organic Garden farm – the fish module, the greenhouse for vegetables, the insect module, the algae module, and the mushroom module – will be planned and built to function independently from one another. At the same time, they will be connected to each other, which allows for and creates the synergetic cycle of the Organic Garden Farm. Several materials and substances will be reused, for example, the water from the fish module will fertilize the greenhouses, and the organic residuals from the mushroom farm will be reused for the insect module. These synergies reduce the overall OPEX by approximately 10 percent."
