Fresh thinking starts with fresh food.
Through the proposed Farmwall installation at Eagleworks, fresh microgreens could become part of everyday innovation-centre life — connecting food, nutrition, sustainability and learning.
Concept imagery depicts fictional people and proposed experiences, not actual La Trobe students or existing events. This is not an approved or operational La Trobe University program.
01 / The Microgreen Station
Fresh nutrients. Every week.
Concept visualisation — subject to site assessment and approval.
A visible food-growing and learning experience, right in the heart of Eagleworks. The standard red Farmwall combines illuminated growing tiers with an aquarium below — bringing the growing process into everyday view.
Approximately 30 cups of microgreens weekly
Routine maintenance and growing support by Farmwall
Produce shared through an agreed Eagleworks arrangement
Opportunities to discover and taste fresh greens
02 / Food Literacy, in Plain Sight
Harvest fresh. Eat now.
A proposed microgreen harvesting station could turn a simple harvest into a moment of discovery. Visible food production can spark conversations about growing conditions, food origins, nutrition and sustainable food systems.
Concept visualisation — subject to site assessment and approval.
Learning beyond the harvest
Proposed QR-linked resources could connect each harvest to growing notes, food-system stories and practical activities. Signage and QR destinations are subject to approval; no destination is live yet.
03 / Three Everyday Eagleworks Experiences
A little green. A part of your day.
01 · A proposed Eagleworks experience
Blend Your Greens
A fresh take on the shared break.
A proposed smoothie demonstration at a university innovation or wellbeing event could bring fresh greens, new flavours and food conversations together.

02 · A proposed Eagleworks experience
Elevate Your Lunch
Freshness, on your terms.
Founders, students and visitors could add microgreens to wraps, salads and bowls — an everyday invitation to explore flavour and dietary diversity.

03 · A proposed Eagleworks experience
Fuel Your Innovation Session
Good food. Shared ideas.
A proposed collaborative workspace experience with fresh food, laptops and notebooks. A positive shared food moment, not a promise of improved concentration or academic performance.

04 / Meet the Microgreens
Small leaves. A world to discover.
Mild & delicate
Broccoli microgreens
Brassica oleracea · broccoli
Mild, delicate brassica flavour; may contain vitamin C and glucosinolate-related compounds. Nutrients vary with the crop and growing conditions.
Colourful & peppery
Red cabbage microgreens
Brassica oleracea · red cabbage
Colourful, peppery greens; may provide vitamins and naturally occurring plant pigments, including anthocyanins.
Tender & vibrant
Red kale microgreens
Brassica oleracea · kale
Tender, vibrant greens that can contribute vitamins and other plant compounds to a varied diet.
Nutrient composition varies by species, cultivar, growing conditions and serving size. No laboratory testing of the proposed Farmwall crops is implied.
Make room for questions about what we eat, how it grows and how fresh ingredients can become part of everyday meals.

Proposed flagship champion
Australia-Pacific Youth Food Lab
A proposed champion connecting young people with food literacy, sustainable growing, entrepreneurship and technology — opening a conversation about youth-led food innovation.
Research collaborations and Youth Food Lab involvement are exploratory, not confirmed. Any participation, project or educational activity requires separate agreement.
FROM CURIOSITY TO IMPACT
What changes between planting and harvest?
Record leaf colour, crop height and aquarium observations across a growing cycle.
Projection assumes approximately 30 cups each operating week. Actual supply and operating periods are subject to the agreed service. Cups are not individual servings.
