Ignoring human workflows is never a good idea.⠀ ⠀ Farm environments aren’t just designed for plants. They also need to be designed for people. The problem with shipping containers is that they’re not designed for people and that poses some real issues for farmers.⠀ ⠀ There are two reasons to keep your farm labor-friendly: the first is that labor is money, and the second is that there’s nothing worse than working in a cramped, confined space for dozens of hours each week. It can be enough to drive you insane, or at the very least make you dread coming to work.⠀ ⠀ Ergonomics — or how efficiently your workplace is set up for workers — is also important, yet this isn’t something you really think about when shopping around for a farm. ⠀ ⠀ Our advice? Don’t neglect it!⠀ ⠀ With those two goals in mind, container farmers must ask and answer important questions about how people will interact with the container farm.⠀ ⠀ “Can I see all my crops easily?”⠀ ⠀ “Could I work in here happily for several hours each day?”⠀ ⠀ “Can more than one person work comfortably in this farm?”⠀ ⠀ These are all questions to answer before making such a large investment.⠀ ⠀ The most practical way to feel out the workflow in your future farm is to visit a variety of container farms before buying one and see how they feel.⠀ ⠀ Talk to other farmers who’ve been farming for a while and get their feedback. You won’t regret it!⠀ ⠀ #localfood #localfarmer #smallfarmers #ag #farminglife #farmtotable #farmtoplate #verticalfarm #verticalfarming #agtech #business #marketing #biz #entrepreneur #urbanfarm #urbanfarming #eatlocal #betterfood #greenhouse #containerfarms #containerfarm #containerfarming #agritech

Spent yesterday's sunny afternoon with #IFSTAL at #GrowUpBox urban farm! Sam Cox, in charge of design and development, explained to us how their #aquaponicsystem can grow tones of greens (and fish) with environmental, social and economically sustainable strategies. Check out what they're up to at their commercial farm and non-profit outreach container (pictured above!) #urbanfarm #aquaponics #eatlocal #GrowUpUrbanFarms #containerfarming # (at Roof East)
