Our mission
Own Greens’ mission is to offer consumers a new food experience and thereby have a real impact on the food system. Nowadays, when consumers buy food, there’s often intervention from farmers, traders and supermarkets. However, Own Greens wants to ensure that consumers regain ownership of their food. With growing solutions such as the PlantHome, consumers can grow fresh vegetables and herbs in their own home in a simple and clean way. This isn’t only an advantage for the consumer, but it also contributes to a large number of sustainability goals. Growing food at the consumer’s home, for example, results in fewer emissions from transport and less food waste, because consumers can grow according to their own needs.
A long-term solution!
Although growing your own foods is very trendy at the moment, Own Greens is by no means a one-hit wonder or just part of the hype. Own Greens offers various, scalable growing solutions with which the consumer can expand their home-growing if desired.
It is therefore possible to ultimately grow all fresh vegetables and herbs according to your own needs at home, without the intervention of farmers or shops.
In addition, Own Greens’ systems do not use pesticides or other harmful chemicals. By switching to the Own Greens method, you not only contribute to creating a better world, but also
to your own health!
