Projects Under Consideration
VMG AG is currently exploring the following project opportunities. If any of these interest you, we welcome your enquiry.
NutriGarden
Toxin-Free Home Nutrition Garden
NutriGarden is a compact, modern home vegetable garden designed for families who value health, freshness, and food safety. Established within a protected structure of approximately 150 sq. ft., it enables households to grow a carefully selected range of leafy greens, herbs, and commonly used vegetables for regular home consumption.
Using hydroponics, cocopeat-based soil-less cultivation, and staggered crop planning, the system provides a continuous supply of fresh produce rather than a one-time harvest. The concept is designed to be simple and disciplined in operation — manageable by homeowners or a caretaker without specialised technical knowledge.
- Approximately 150 sq. ft. protected growing structure
- 30 growing containers using engineered or cocopeat-based media
- Crops include leafy greens, herbs, household vegetables, gourds, and premium varieties
- Designed to supply 60–70% of a household's regular vegetable requirement
- Technically designed and implemented on a turnkey basis
- Scalable to homes, gated communities, institutions, and urban centres
