About UrbanFarm Africa
UrbanFarm Africa is a South African agritech company behind the Hydro-Coop: a compact, solar-powered, closed-loop farming unit combining poultry production with hydroponic vegetable cultivation, designed for land- and water-constrained township and rural environments. The company reports 271 implemented projects and R250 million in generated revenue over five years. In May 2026, impact fund E Squared Investments backed the Green Acres Hydro-Coop pilot in Diepsloot, Johannesburg — implemented with Afrika Tikkun — which is turning a cohort of 20 unemployed young people (19 of them women) into owner-operator micro-farmers with guaranteed retail off-take.
