System Analysis

The Fodder system is a complete departure from vegetable farming. It uses the "sprouting" method to unlock the nutritional potential of grains like barley, maize, or wheat. A single system can produce the feed equivalent of dozens of acres of pasture.

The seed mat is only watered for minutes a day, yet it expands up to 7x its weight in 7 days. The "root mat" that forms is completely edible, providing a high-protein, highly digestible food source for cows, goats, specialized cattle, and horses.
