How 'microgreens' from Vossem are set to conquer the whole country: "The landlord initially thought we were growing something else"
Students Yuri Elens and Milan Berlemont are promoting microgreens from their workshop in Vossem, aiming to educate the public about these nutrient-rich edible seedlings. Initially misunderstood by their landlord, they now cultivate various types of microgreens, including broccoli and radish, which can be harvested within 8 to 10 days. Their vertical farming method allows for high production efficiency, potentially addressing agricultural challenges amid climate change. They are actively engaging with local markets and the hospitality sector to integrate microgreens into Belgian cuisine, inspired by their popularity in North America.
