Traditional greenhouses face serious challenges as a result of their large environmental footprint – from the stress being put on the electrical infrastructure to the water requirements needed to grow the plant – it is costly and harmful to the planet. It is also ineffective.
AgriFORCE’s intellectual property (IP) is currently being implemented in the hydroponics sector. This sector was identified as one that offers exceptional opportunities from the ability to showcase the IP’s effectiveness to that of a growing market that is in urgent need in addressing serious industry-wide challenges – all of which the IP will solve.
The IP – a pioneering facility design and automated growing system – is created to provide a clear solution to the problems plaguing most agricultural verticals today. It was developed to deliver a Clean. Green. Local. product thanks to the combination of a unique growing structure and an automated system. It provides a clean, self-contained environment, with limited human intervention and an assurance of quality control (which is one of the industry’s most serious challenges). It is also designed to provide a higher crop yield, with daily harvests.
The AgriFORCE IP is designed to dramatically reduce water and power requirements, and environmental impact while substantially lowering production costs. It offers the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) organic equivalent and synthetic and toxin-free crops and has the lowest carbon footprint available on the market for indoor growing.
