What is Vertical Farming?
Vertical Farming uses an enclosed space to bring farmers control over components such as lights, heating, ventilation, AC, pumps, etc. to create the perfect growing environment in any climate, 365 days a year.
You can grow high value, nutritionally rich microgreens, leafy greens, herbs, veggies, fodder, fruits, edible flowers and medical plants.
Pesticides and pollutants free.
LED lights
The luminaries have been carefully designed to ensure every light photon is directed toward the plant and not wasted.

Hydroponic techniques are extremely water-efficient and can be adapted to many environments and crop varieties.

Circular economy models for food
Currently, growers are focused on the inputs that plant cultivation systems need to achieve high yields and quality that can be valued on the market.
This production model can be further developed to go beyond the linear process.
We design technology systems which integrate with the farm’s activities: recycling, renewable energy and supply chain, creating opportunities for farmers, food processors and retailers to work together.
