Dear colleagues and friends,

Some of you might be interested in trying out HARVEST, our urban food production simulation plug-in for UMI, the Urban Modeling Interface. HARVEST estimates food yields of indoor farms and their associated operational building energy use, water use and carbon emissions, as well as their economic performance through metrics such as operational costs and job creation.

You can watch video tutorials and download the installer here. Please note that you need Rhino 6 for Windows and the latest UMI to use Harvest.

Happy urban (food production) modeling,
