main question
Emerging research indicates diverse microbial communities that associate with plant-root systems could improve human health and wellbeing indoors.
Active Modular Phytoremediation Systems (AMPS) represents a long standing investigation into the potential of scalable and modular building-integrated plant systems and their associated microbiomes to improve indoor air quality, thereby reducing the energy intensive demands of mechanical air handling systems.
How can we dramatically transform urban environments through building-integrated agriculture?
