The Greenhouse

The digital backbone of the Food Ladder program combining the National curriculum with hands-on planning tools turning our greenhouses into living classrooms conquering science, sustainability, and food security.

Give teachers their time back

Rather than add to the ever-growing to-do list, all teachers receive a custom dashboard with Food Ladder's AI Lesson Planner, built with IBM and aligned to curriculum requirements. Production stats, forecast versus actual harvests, environmental impact and team management all sit in one place. That means more time with students, and less time in spreadsheets.

Plan the harvest, then learn to cook

Harvest Tracker lets teachers forecast yields from planting dates, crop choices and plant counts, then log what actually came in against the plan across the year. The Recipe Book has more than 40 dishes built around greenhouse harvests, with kitchen science for 14 to 16 year olds, so the learning keeps going from the greenhouse to the plate.

Turn growing spaces into growth hubs

The Academy is an advanced learning tool available as an extension of The Greenhouse program. It covers growing systems, greenhouse maintenance, pest management, harvest hygiene, food preservation and how to get the most from the ecosystem. Next to it, the Crop Library has more than 50 crops, including Indigenous Australian bush-tucker species. Each profile compares NFT growing with garden soil, and includes yield data, nutrition and how to save seed.
