E140: Babylon Micro-Farms Grows
E140: David provides the Southern Venture Update and Paul follows with an interview with Alexander Olesen, Co-founder of Babylon Micro-Farms.
Babylon® began with the idea of growing food where it was never thought possible. Founders Alexander Olesen and Graham Smith met at the University of Virginia where they first designed a low-cost Micro-Farm™ to provide nutritious produce for food-insecure refugees in the Middle East. Their goal was to bring the benefits of sustainable hydroponic farming to anyone who needed it.
As a result, they developed technology that would automate the complex aspects of indoor farming by simplifying crop production and making it accessible to anyone. The perfect blend of simplicity, beauty, and sustainability, Babylon makes indoor farming easy and accessible for everyone. Serving the corporate dining, education, hospitality, healthcare and senior living markets, the Galleri model is the easiest-to-use commercial indoor farm in the world. For the K-12 education market, Stem Garden is a hands-on learning model that helps students grow by discovering the exciting world of hydroponics.
Babylon’s trusted partners in select cities offer enhanced services to help install and maintain your Babylon Micro-Farm and their trusted educational partners offer customized curriculum services to help you inspire and empower students with your Babylon Micro-Farm. (recorded 10/8/24)
