With the HerzensApp, we help carers in mobile services to work independently and self-determined. Our platform supports carers in networking with those in need of care, relieves them of administrative tasks and digitalises the obligatory documentation. This massively reduces costs that are currently incurred for administration and management. Furthermore, caregivers save a lot of time, which allows a deeper focus on humanity and care work itself.”
Azolla Ecosystems brings fish farming to restaurants
The freshly caught perch goes straight onto the grill and is garnished with just-picked herbs. Is this only a dream for city dwellers? No, thanks to Azolla Ecosystem it is possible, the project is already in the test phase.
Azolla Ecosystems is dedicated to the sustainable and local production of fish and vegetables with its aquaponics system. The fish are bred and the vegetables are grown in a closed cycle. With this new technology, restaurateurs and supermarkets are able to grow their own produce, on demand, always fresh and right where it is consumed or sold. The first vertical farm is located in Vienna’s 2nd district, at the Dogenhof restaurant. We wish you much success with this innovative idea! Looking forward to the menu…
“A bit over a year ago I founded Azolla Ecosystems, to grow fresh fish and herbs in an urban environment. To show an alternative to conventional farming-, distributionmethods and consumption habits. I’m super proud how far we’ve gotten so far. Having installed the first ecosystem in the wonderful restaurant Dogenhof. Thanks brutkasten for this article! #letsgrowcrazy“
