Fresh Food in the City

Chen Chin-tu (陳金塗) is the owner of a company that manufactures cutting and pressing machinery in Taichung City, central Taiwan. Chen began farming more than 10 years ago on a piece of land he rented in the city and has since become a proponent of vertical farming, or growing vegetables in boxes on multiple levels of shelving.
His experience in the machinery industry played an important role in his invention of a unique modular growing system in which shelves and boxes can be arranged in different combinations. Slots in the bottom of each box allow them to be fastened tightly to the system’s shelves or balcony railings to prevent them from toppling in strong wind.
The system also channels excess water from the bottom of each planter to a common drain to prevent the runoff from leaking into downstairs apartments. Chen says he has sold about 2,000 systems since he patented the product in 2009. “That number isn’t so impressive,” Chen says, “but I’m happy I can give people who’re interested in urban farming an easier way to start.”
