A contribution from Strascheg Center for Entrepreneurship
Just as every plant has its origin in a usually tiny seed, Urban Farming Munich grew from the small nucleus of a student initiative at the Munich University of Applied Sciences.
What began in the summer semester of 2013 as part of a Real Project at Strascheg Center for Entrepreneurship has taken root over the years and is now growing in the form of Urban Farming Munich as ambitious startup the first flowers.

Urban Farming: “The fun of growing your own food”
