Help fresh food find its place.
Grow with us, study a question, or share what you discover. Each program has a different purpose; find the one that fits your home, work or research.
Find your way to take part.
A household testing a pre-production appliance, a chef building a public demonstration, a university running a study and a journalist writing a review need entirely different things from us, and owe entirely different things in return.

We are looking for research stations, expedition vessels, remote camps and closed-habitat programmes willing to run a LUYA system where fresh produce is genuinely hard to get. We supply the hardware and the seed. You supply the setting, and permission to publish what actually happens.
Questions LUYA cannot answer alone, what we can contribute to a study, and the terms we work under, including independence, data handling and publication rights.
How LUYA works with journalists, reviewers and creators: editorial independence, disclosure rules, available materials, and what we will not ask you to say.
A paid contributor program for writers on microgreens, home growing and fresh nutrition. Published under your own byline, paid in LUYA credit, with a clear sourcing standard.
