Grow to be Self-Sufficient : Head of Marketing tells it all in an interview to DeliveryRank. Anne-Cécile describes how this French-based innovative company is in the process of revolutionizing the traditional veggie patch and turning smart greenhouses into the vegetable gardens of the future. Article written by Sarah Kirton.

A high-tech greenhouse for growing vegetables without pesticides is now possible. The Alsatian start-up MyFood presents its connected greenhouse at CES in Las Vegas, the global meeting place for new technologies. This smart greenhouse works with fish. You actually have in the greenhouse a basin with carp. Their droppings are used as fertilizer to grow vegetables. The plants are watered with carp water. Plants which, in exchange, filter the water with their roots and clean the pond. This is called aquaponics.

The French company Myfood offers a range of crops for the home, from the large vegetable crisper for an apartment to the small connected greenhouse for the garden. Greenhouse sensors monitor plant growth and alert the owner when intervention is needed to optimize growth.

"The Mayans invented it," says Thomas Arnaud, president and founder of MetSens. "Aquaponics have always existed, enriching plants with fish droppings." Smiling and excited, he explains that this closed circuit circulates the water in the towers where the grass grows suspended over the water. "Then the nutrient-laden water falls into the basins, the fish feed on it, their droppings are then sent to a pump and go up again to supply the plant from above".

Raspberries and currants, even in December. Radishes, salads, and nasturtiums galore. At Paul-Eluard school, at Blanc-Mesnil, we prepare to garden in any season, thanks to a greenhouse ... connected. Revolutionary equipment according to its inventor Johan Nazaraly, "It existed for the industrial sector, but not for individuals, or for schools," said 32-year-old Blanc-Mesnilois, from the MyFood start-up. The idea is to allow anyone to grow, garden, even without experience."

Myfood chose the LITA investment platform. co, platform dedicated to "sustainable, transparent and united finance". With a minimum ticket of 200 euros, investors acquire shares and enjoy financial benefits and potential capital gains.

A "personal assessment of the future of the planet" is at the origin of the creation by Mickaël Gandecki and his two young associates of the company Myfood and their first connected greenhouse. The idea is to allow a family to produce its own food, by betting on the symbiosis between fish and plants.

A smart greenhouse has just been installed in the Ehpad Park of the African Missions. Ecologically-therapeutic, it reflects a desire to open the Ehpad outward, while reducing medications.

This is the story of Mickaël Gandecki, Johan Nazaraly and Matthieu Urban, three digital natives who set up their start-up in 2015. The idea, Greenhouses connected. From the balcony to the urban farm, they are solar, connected, grow vertically, without chemical inputs ... and without effort! Since then, Myfood has been established in 7 European countries including Luxembourg and seems unstoppable in its expansion plans.

At the Landes school, pupils of the first and second grad class worked throughout the year on various subjects concerning a simple and ecological vacuum mode. This experience continues with a visit to the garden of one of their classmate. Children are sensitized to rainwater harvesting, composting, permaculture tank culture, the preservation of all insects and, most impressively, the myfood aquaponic greenhouse, whose plants are suspended in the towers. of crops above the pond where the fish live.

With an area of 22m2 "this greenhouse can feed a family of 4 people, adds Urban. It produces up to 50 kilos of fish and 350 to 500 kilos of plants a year depending on the varieties. Thus on these famous vertical towers can grow zucchini, salads, cabbages, radishes, aubergines or strawberries ... "Restorers even use this greenhouse only to plant aromatic herbs, notes Matthew Urban.

Myfood prepares the industrialization of its connected greenhouses The Alsatian start-up Myfood wants to develop the production of connected greenhouses to satisfy a growing demand in Europe.

It is a young shoot in the true sense of the term, born in 2015 in the soil of urban agriculture and permaculture.

Cultivating organic food at home in sufficient quantity to feed an entire family is Myfood's challenge, which has developed a smart greenhouse.

Invented by three young French people, the connected greenhouse Myfood depote. By combining permaculture and aquaponics, she feeds a family of four without lifting a finger, or almost!

Created in 2016, the Myfood start-up, which has been set up for a few months in Molsheim, near Strasbourg, offers connected greenhouses combining permaculture and aquaponics techniques. The company that has already sold its greenhouses in seven European countries in the form of prototypes will spend this year on the industrialization and commercialization of its solutions. It plans a new fundraising of more than one million euros.

Cette serre connectée peut fournir des fruits et légumes à une famille de 4 personnes pendant un an. Développé par myfood, une startup basée en Alsace, le concept a déjà convaincu 70 personnes dans sept pays d'Europe.

The Alsatian start-up MyFood offers smart and connected greenhouses capable of feeding two to four people. Designed to promote the development of ecological, sustainable and local crops, this greenhouse makes it possible to grow fruits and vegetables in small spaces. Thanks to several cultivation techniques (aquaponics, bioponics, permaculture), many varieties can be grown there (tomatoes, radishes, cucumbers, salad, spinach, strawberries, basil ...).

CO2 emissions, pesticides and fertilizers, zero waste ... Consumption habits have greatly evolved in terms of food. Citizens, who are more responsible, are more and more inclined to favor local production and ecology. Faced with this observation, the Strasbourg start-up MyFood, founded in 2015, has developed connected greenhouses to facilitate the adoption of this culture model. "People want to know exactly what is on their plate, and technology can provide guarantees," Mickaël Gandecki, president and founder, told L'Usine Digitale.

Founded in 2015 by Mickaël Gandecki, Matthieu Urban and Johan Nazaraly, MyFood aims to fight the damages caused by industrial agriculture by bringing food production back home, off-grid, using 90% less water, and without pesticide. The company’s mission statement reads: “Our ambition: to make it possible to produce at home a healthy, diverse and ultra-fresh diet all-year-round. Reconnect with nature and enjoy a sense of well-being.”

In full growth, the startup myfood (re) connects citizens to their food by offering them to acquire greenhouses connected, easy to use. To help its students broaden their horizons, the ENSEA engineering school has formed a partnership with its founders. The school will host a connected greenhouse where graduating students will be able to experiment and test their solutions to improve agriculture. ENSEA hopes to encourage its future engineers to embrace a career focused on Tech For Good.

MyFood develops smart greenhouses to help consumers produce healthy, diverse, and fresh food at home. Air Liquide and MyFood are collaborating on a fertilization process using CO2 to improve the quality and yield of vegetables grown in the greenhouse. The process is smart, connected, and enables the reuse of CO2 from industry.

"We use a Raspberry Pi with Windows IoT and Azure storage, and we use a Sigfox network to trace the data." The company is currently raising funds through a participatory campaign and funds that will accompany it in its financing.

Our goal is to be able to feed humanity through our solutions. We seek to become a player for change, for example through collaboration with Enspirulia, a company producing spirulina that helps us to diversify our production.

Launched in 2015, this start-up designs greenhouses for individuals to produce its own food. These greenhouses are connected in order to provide a follow-up to the users and to have an optimal use of their production.

Connected, responsible, autonomous: the greenhouse concept imagined by the Alsatian start-up myfood takes on board the key principles of sustainable production and consumption. It condenses them into a daring hybridization between the worlds of digital and agroecology.

 And if the revolution started in your garden? "This is the question posed by Matthieu Urban, one of the three co-founders of Myfood, in the video presentation of this project. This smart greenhouse must allow individuals to easily grow their own vegetables, and perhaps to achieve food self-sufficiency.

myfood designs connected greenhouses for anyone who wants to grow their own food. Designed to be installed at home, in its terrace or garden, greenhouses offer a perfect environment for growing fruits and vegetables. An ideal tool to become a player of its consumption!

Fresh produce – ideally grown locally right in your backyard – is essential to a healthy diet, but with scores of people either lacking the space, time, or knowledge to cultivate their own food, for many that ideal simply isn’t attainable.

A new collective awareness is emerging – we’re taking control of our food system. Many people, however, seem to believe that food autonomy is out of reach. Some lack knowledge, some lack space, while others lack clear information. But myfood is excited to announce that it’s now possible to produce our own food in a simple, accessible and transparent manner. No prior experience required.

In this greenhouse, no pesticides, no herbicides, or anything. Just a mix of permaculture and aquaponics! Explanations.

 We announce production performances six to eight times higher than traditional agriculture, all without fertilizers, pesticides, fertilizers and above all without digging into our natural resources (water). What to feed a healthy family all year round a family of 4. Ambitious!

The start-up MyFood, based in Molsheim, is based on aquaponics and permaculture. Its greenhouses conquer an increasingly wide audience in Europe.

Because they are convinced that everyone could produce their own food locally, three young entrepreneurs decided to create the start-up Myfood that offers connected greenhouses combining aquaponics and permaculture. She will soon be at the Salon de l'agriculture to present her greenhouses and her new Aerospring culture tower. ADIRA has accompanied the project since its inception. The start-up now employs 8 people and is based in Molsheim.

At a time of environmental stagnation in which we are stuck, citizen initiatives are blooming in response on both sides of the territories in the fight against global warming. This is the case of Myfood, a young French sprout.

What is aquaponics? We are live since the Salon de l'Agriculture, Porte de Versaille in Paris, to present this technique that combines plant culture in symbiosis with fish farming. In the form of a greenhouse to put in his garden or tray to install on his balcony, kits can be easily launched at home, whether you live in the countryside or in town.

Thanks to the connected greenhouse imagined by myfood, a simple space of 24m2 is enough to feed a family of four for a whole year! All, without any pesticides and with incredibly low water consumption!

Harvest 400 kilos of fruits and vegetables a year and 40 kilos of fish, devoting only one hour per week, it is now possible...

MyFood has developed a smart greenhouse. An innovation that goes in the direction of food autonomy. We talk about it with Johan Nazaraly, co-founder of MyFood.

Created in 2016, the Myfood start-up, which has been set up for a few months in Molsheim, near Strasbourg, offers connected greenhouses combining permaculture and aquaponics techniques.

In line with the magazine "We Demain", this series of documentaries invites viewers to decipher our changing world and to explore the realm of possibilities, while placing the human being at the heart of its reflection, taking the time to breathe, slow down and share. Topics covered are school, city, mobility, work and the health of our children.

Un 30 minutes qui fait rêver, tout en amenant de profondes réflexions sur l'agriculture actuelle. Un documentaire qui nous fait prendre conscience de l'importance de se reconnecter non seulement à notre alimentation, mais aussi à la nature, à la communauté et aux valeurs essentielles.

"We work vertically, without soil, putting fish and vegetables to produce large quantities of vegetables all year round," says Myfood's Mickaël Gandecki.

In Gertwiller, a start-up develops the principle of aquaponics: in a connected greenhouse, plants suspended above the water basin feed on fertilizer with fish droppings.
