Ikea’s urban farming concept Lokal is hosting a six-day pop-up in London’s hipster district Shoreditch with a range of workshops and tastings.
The high-tech hydroponics farm is part of Ikea’s Space10 project, and will be showcased as part of the London Design Festival.
Designed to bring food closer to consumers, Lokal wants people to “enjoy a taste of the future”. Along with a salad bar that serves the micro greens with a range of toppings, tech consultancy firm Hirsch & Mann will host a tactile Meet Your Greens section to educate about the benefits of locally-sourced food and hydroponics.
“During a six-day pop-up in Shoreditch, we will test how to produce nutritious food in more sustainable and smarter ways. Join us for a range of appetising workshops, gastronomic ventures and tasty bites,” a statement from Lokal said.
The Lokal pop-up will run until 23 September.
