The Swedish government’s clean-tech initiative offers to feed the cities of the world

Sweden now launches a new offer to feed the cities of the world through SymbioCity, a network of Swedish companies and organizations, within sustainable urban development, founded by the Swedish Government and Swedish Industry.

Urban Agriculture is a new offer from SymbioCity. The Urban Agriculture offer proposes a new way to cultivate food by building vertical greenhouses that reduce transport costs and emissions. This approach integrates with the city and saves money and the environment.

Plantagon, a company that develops greenhouses for vertical farming and is a world-leading actor in Urban Agriculture, is a part of this offer together with well-known partners Sweco, Saab, Combitech and Tekniska Verken.

Urban Agriculture
Urban Agriculture has become a fast growing need for cities around the world. By 2050 up to 80% of the earth's population will reside in urban centers. Until then human population will increase by about 2 billion, applying conservative estimates. The transportation of food into cities will become a mayor challenge for cities around the world. Moving production of vegetables into the cities is one solution.
