Overview
Tarlam is an agriculture technology company based in Istanbul, Turkey, founded in 2021. The company develops soilless farming systems designed to enable the cultivation of fresh herbs, vegetables, and microgreens at the point of consumption.
The company addresses the challenge of producing fresh produce locally and efficiently. Traditional agriculture requires significant land, water, and pesticide use, whilst creating supply chain inefficiencies and food waste. Tarlam's approach targets consumers and businesses seeking to grow fresh produce with minimal resources and environmental impact.
Activities and products
Tarlam's primary offering is the Tarlam Soilless Farming System, a cabinet-sized device that utilises vertical hydroponics technology. The systems are fully automated and incorporate smart sensors and artificial intelligence to maintain optimal growing conditions for plants. According to the company, this approach enables faster plant growth whilst reducing water consumption compared to conventional farming methods. The systems operate without requiring pesticides and do not demand extensive agricultural knowledge from users, thereby reducing both food waste and environmental impact.
