Maturity stage
TRL 9 / CRI 2 - Commercial Trial Small Scale
With a growing population, a growing demand for high quality, nutritious food production and competing land use demands, modern agriculture is facing challenges. This Solution from INNO-3B offers an innovative vertical farming technology that is highly optimised, scalable and profitable. Microgreens, leafy greens and herbs are grown in tall production towers at optimal environmental conditions year-round. Parameters include relative humidity, temperature, CO2 concentration and air flow. An automatic crop handling system eliminates the need for operators to go around the field or up-and-down fixed racking, while maximizing space use. Towers can be custom-built to fit the vertical space available in a building up to 40 ft high, and production surface can be upgraded up to 6 times the minimal configuration afterwards, offering economies of scale.
The Environmental Benefits
- •Up to 3.5 kg of CO2 equivalent offset per kg of produce, compared to the mainstream alternative
- •Up to 95% less water use per kg of produce
- •100% pesticide-free
The Financial Benefits
- •Payback time in less than 3 years
- •70% of energy used can be recycled into existing heating systems
