Anthroponics

Adventures in urban farming

Mediamatic has its own urban agriculture system in the form of a now Anthroponics greenhouse at the Biotoop Dijkspark, near Amsterdam Central station.

We first started with an aquaponics system, which is a way to grow plants and fish together in a closed system. The fish excrete ammonia, which gets transformed by bacteria into nitrate, the latter being used from the plants.

Now, after some ethical considerations and practical hindrance, we're solely relying on human excrement and canal water.
