Efficient, Sustainable, Proven
Efficiency is the key to sustainable and profitable indoor farming.
Our automated hydroponic NFT growing systems have been designed with space, labor, energy and water efficiency in mind to achieve maximal yield while using fewer resources.
Space Efficiency
The green house area can be used to the full extent, resulting in maximum production per square meter.
The automatic gutter movement and distance adjustment ensures maximal usage of your greenhouse space and delivers unmatched plant density and yields.
Labour Efficiency
A fully automated greenhouse operation minimizes labor needs.
You are taking a “hands-off approach” with the green automation system. From seeding to harvesting, no human labor is needed and no human hand touches the lettuce.
Water and Energy Efficiency
The growing system primarily utilizes the most cost-effective energy source for the growing: the sun. Given its unmatched plant density, supplemental growing lights are used with maximum efficiency per area.
As in other hydroponic NFT systems, irrigation water is circulated, reducing water consumption by 95% compared to conventional farming. .
