The Agri-FIT project revolutionizes inclusive agriculture by removing barriers that exclude persons with disabilities from farming. This video showcases a specialized soilless farming system designed for wheelchair users and those with mobility impairments, featuring a plant-stem lifting mechanism that enables independent management of vertical crops like tomatoes and cucumbers.

Agri-FIT combines ergonomic design with environmental sustainability, optimizing water use and enhancing productivity. The project promotes autonomy and skill development, transforming agriculture into a field where physical limitations do not hinder the ability to create a sustainable livelihood.
