UrbanFarmers Ltd. is a Switzerland-based technology company building commercial food production units in cities. The company develops and operates farms with its proprietary software system allowing commercial decentralized farming at low cost. Established in 2011 as a technology spin-off from the University of Applied Sciences (ZHAW) in Zurich, UrbanFarmers is attracting global attention with its vision to build rooftop farms. With UF001 LokDepot, a pilot commercial rooftop farm located in Basel, Switzerland, UF is selling fresh fish and vegetables directly into leading local restaurants. Deliveries to Migros, Switzerland’s largest food retailer have proven the outstanding quality of the produce. In May 2016, UrbanFarmers celebrated the Grand Opening of UF002 De Schilde, Europe’s largest rooftop farm in The Hague, NL. The current project pipelines includes projects in the Benelux, Germany as well as a host of other cities worldwide.
