"The idea is not to redo industrial agriculture in the city, it doesn't make sense. We try to extract the maximum number of lessons from everything that happens in the world of agriculture and food to propose a new productive, local and healthy model."2. "The technique that we have developed prevents from trapping urban pollution."3. "Our systems are totally closed and, which allows us to never be in contact with airborne particles."4. "We do not use pesticides or chemicals."5. "Prices are competitive. We are cheaper than biological but inevitably more expensive than conventional because we are in smaller areas than industrial agriculture is, we cannot mechanize and there is a lot of labour involved."6. "In two years, this area will become the largest urban farm on a roof in Europe. So far we have only installed a third."
