Planterino is a smart planter that looks especially good on urban balconies and terraces. It is fully recycled and recyclable and brings a self-sustainable food supply to urban communities.
It teaches young urban dwellers how to grow their own yummy food, even if they don’t know how and don’t have access to a plot of land. Decentralized farming is the future of food and Planterino introduces it to the younger generations of city folk.
With Planterino cities and communities can learn how to approach self-sustainability in an environmentally-friendly fashion.
Planterino shows what to plant and when, and how to look after the vegetables.
Sensors within the planter and the weather forecast are connected to the phone app, which offers gardening know-how.
It starts by offering full support and progresses into encouraging increasing independence and gardening mastery through gamification.
