About Légumes Perchés
More than an innovation, the Lausanne-based company markets a concept. The team of four who make it up installs market garden roofs, or “edible surfaces”. In short: local, urban and pesticide-free agriculture. Légumes Perchés also sets up associative or educational workshops, for example with nurseries or schools.
Growing Vegetables on the Moon
The team behind “Légumes Perchés” is also known for having worked on GrowBotHub: an EPFL-backed pilot that aims at creating a fully automated system to grow and harvest vegetables in extreme environments. The main focus of the pilot was to design an autonomous system that will minimize the required resources.
