Growing food indoors has many challenges:

  • The time it takes to tend the plants
  • Getting the right amount of light and water year-round
  • Having enough space for all the plants

Increasingly people are looking for food sources that are:

  • Fresh and healthy
  • Organic and pesticide free
  • Sustainably grown
  • Immediately available
KAUST spin-in Natufia, with their smart garden and Natufia One products, have created a way for people to farm indoors, all year round. People can grow up to 32 herbs and vegetables at a time in their homes and kitchens. The solution automatically provides the right amount of light and water to grow fresh, organic produce.

The growing process is easy, just three simple steps to take:

  1. Place seed pods into the nursery
  2. After 7-10 days, move seedlings to a grow cup
  3. In about a month, harvest the food

Enjoy and repeat.
