Launch of Sweden’s Largest In-Store Farm With Swegreen
Construction has officially begun on Sweden’s largest in-store farm at ICA Maxi Ängelholm. Powered by Swegreen’s Freja platform, this innovative farm will allow the store to produce over 160,000 leafy greens and herbs annually. By growing crops directly inside the store, ICA Maxi aims to offer customers a steady, hyper-local supply of sustainable produce without the typical price fluctuations.
Freja Platform: A New Standard for Sustainable Farming
Swegreen’s Freja platform is the most advanced in-store farming solution available globally, using vertical farming and AI technology to grow crops with minimal environmental impact. In a space of just 45 to 60 square meters, the Freja platform can produce up to 450 crops per day, including lettuce, leafy greens, and herbs. With no transportation required, carbon emissions are significantly reduced.
Pierre Mohlin, CEO of Swegreen, commented, “The Freja platform at ICA Maxi Ängelholm will not only be the largest in-store farm in Sweden, but it also sets a new global standard for sustainable, hyper-local food production.”
