How does hydroponic technology work in vertical farming?
Hydroponic technology involves growing plants in a nutrient-rich solution without soil. In vertical farming, this technology is used to grow crops in a vertical structure, using a recirculating system to deliver nutrients to the plants. Hydroponic technology allows for more efficient use of water and space, while also reducing the need for pesticides and herbicides.
How are your crops grown, and are they pesticide-free?
Our crops are grown hydroponically in controlled vertical farming systems. Arable Grow is GAP certified and certified pesticide-free. We do not market our produce as certified organic.
What are the potential economic benefits of vertical farming?
Firstly, vertical farming allows for year-round production regardless of seasonality, resulting in a continuous and reliable supply of fresh produce. This reduces the dependence on external suppliers and fluctuations in market prices. Secondly, vertical farming maximizes space utilization by stacking multiple layers of crops vertically, increasing the overall productivity per square foot of land.
