The seed lab is a recent startup it aims to provide people what a sustainable food system. The seed lab
noticed that urban living people have limited or no gardens and felt excluded from growing their own
foods. We provide a place to help teach and guide growers to growing some of their own foods after all
there is nothing sweeter than the taste of your own hard work.
Give it ago, there’s an inner grower in everyone!
We believe that finding ways to grow food in urban environments solves a huge number of problems
facing people and the planet. Growing your own food shortens supply chains by putting fewer miles
between food and eaters, decreases waste through less packaging, and produces food with a higher
nutritional density.
However, growing food in urban environments is not without its challenges either. As Dubliners
living in 600 square foot apartments, we know these challenges firsthand. There is a lack of time,
space, and know how. By making growing food at home fun, easy, and affordable we are overcoming
these obstacles.
Our research shows that when people grow their own food it shifts their knowledge, attitudes and
behaviour around food. It empowers them to make healthier and more sustainable choices. We call this
Food Empathy.
We envision a world where all food is produced, distributed and consumed in a manner that is
healthy for our planet and its people.
1. To learn and have a place to refer to when you are growing your seeds.
2. Grow some of our own food, Yum!
3. Eat more plants, Tasty and healthy dishes coming your way.
4. Follow the seasons, get different varieties of plants to experiment with each month
End food waste, only pick as you need!
5. Reduce unnecessary food packaging, who wants a fridge full of plastic with bad typography
anyway!!
Food production is responsible for almost a third of global greenhouse gas emissions, while habitat
loss from allocating land for food production is the main driver of biodiversity loss.
The Seed Lab are proud to align our mission, vision and impact with the United Nations Sustainable
Development Goals (SDGs) by helping educate people to start growing at home.
