Another way of calling it would be closed loop or open loop grow rooms. A sealed room (closed loop) has a minimum amount of air being exchanged with the exterior meaning that the air located inside the grow room is constantly being re-conditioned to your desired environmental conditions. Since the air is not being replaced and […]
In theory yes… in practice no! Vertical farming will not be able to compete with large production of cereals such as Corn, Wheat or Rice. The market sector of agriculture where Vertical Farming will excel is with the production of fruits, vegetables, leafy greens and mushrooms on urban locations closer to the consumer such as […]
Greenhouses (GH) are structures that help create a controlled environment while also taking advantage of free energy from sunlight and exterior conditions. There is a whole world of options when you are projecting your greenhouse. We will give an initial overview of the main factors that differentiate a high tech high performing greenhouse from a […]
Controlled Environment Agriculture requires some equipment to achieve its benefits, even tough many practices/behaviours can be implemented for free. When deciding the equipment you are going to purchase, it is extremely important to have into account:– Initial Investment– Correct sizing – Overall Efficiency – Technical Support– Ease of Substitution– Disposability There are two main branches […]

Vertical Farming in […]
Perhaps the most basic understanding of plants is that they do well in the sunlight and that some are more tolerant to others to more or less heat. Light is energy that travels in different bandwidths with different properties and energy content. Light can also be described as electromagnetic radiation with the bandwidth between the […]
