Our services

At Alternative Solutions AG, we extend our commitment to sustainable agriculture beyond the cultivation and sale of produce. We are passionate about empowering the community to utilize their own spaces, no matter how limited, to grow food. Our educational initiatives focus on teaching the public how to develop their backyards into productive areas for food production, emphasizing soilless methods that are adaptable to small spaces. Drawing inspiration from Cornell University's gardening lessons, we introduce participants to various soilless growing methods such as hydroponics, aeroponics, and aquaponics.

These techniques are not only efficient but also sustainable, offering a solution to growing food in urban environments or areas with limited soil quality. Our programs are designed for beginners and intermediate learners, aiming to make participants familiar with these alternative farming methods and how they can be applied to address climate change issues within the food system

Furthermore, our approach is informed by the latest advancements in hydroponic solutions for urban food production.

We explore the potential of hydroponics to increase production per square foot, making it an ideal solution for small-scale urban agriculture. Our educational content covers the design, management, and benefits of hydroponic systems, providing a comprehensive understanding of how to implement these systems in a backyard setting.

This model demonstrates the efficiency and accessibility of soilless farming, inspiring our teachings on creating high-yield, small-footprint food gardens.

These courses cover essential skills for maintaining urban agricultural spaces, including soil-less farming techniques, which are crucial for our educational programs. By incorporating these innovative methods and resources into our educational initiatives, Alternative Solutions AG aims to inspire and equip individuals with the knowledge and tools to grow their own food sustainably. Our vision is to foster a community of informed, self-reliant individuals who can contribute to food security and sustainability through their backyard gardens, regardless of the size of their available space
