Green Fields, Greener Future Sustainable Farming
Controlled Environment Agriculture
Controlled Environment Agriculture is the process of growing produce in a closed ecosystem while managing a number of variables. The goal of this method is to reduce disease and pest threats, maximize efficiency, increase sustainability and yield, and reduce overall operating costs. CEA frequently employs automation techniques to gain greater control over a variety of farming factors. Automation of humidity, light, carbon dioxide levels, temperature, and nutrition is included.
Freshness
By placing container farms closer to the consumers who will consume the produce which is grown locally
Productivity
CEA increases a farm’s production efficiency by shortening the growth cycle and increasing plant density
Flavor
Plants are automatically provided accurate input variables of nutrients and nutrient dosage at predetermined intervals in the container
Traceability
Traceability ensures that the steps can be traced backwards and forwards at any point in the supply chain. This enables quick corrective actions when a food quality issue is discovered
Availability
CEA eliminates the impacts of climate, location, and seasonality, allowing you to have any produce you choose at any time of year and in any area
Water Conservation
CEA can save 70 to 90 percent more water than soil due to its efficiency. Water circulates throughout the system, allowing plants to absorb more of the water they require for active metabolism
Plant Factory
The Plant Factory, re-engineered shipping containers, are modular and portable vertical production environments for growing a diverse range of greens in all weather conditions. The Plant Factory enables growers to achieve year-round consistent vegetable production. To ensure quality and consistency, the Plant Factory uses artificial control of light, temperature, moisture, and carbon dioxide concentrations. The Plant Factory is an excellent choice for implementing Smart Agriculture techniques. The Plant Factory ensures higher food production in relation to the effort required, and it makes production possible even in difficult or impossible areas. Crop selection, lighting selection, and design are important factors in the success of a plant factory. Plant factories are becoming more viable as technology advances.
