CITY FARMING

Capitalising on expertise and experience from numerous climate projects for science customers, Nijssen provides scalable and highly energy-efficient solutions for indoor production, vertical farming.

FUTURE-PROOF AGRICULTURE

City farming is gaining momentum. Indoor climate-controlled food-growing vertical farming facilities have been sprouting up in cities worldwide. Urban population is increasing and consumers are increasingly interested in locally sourced, all-natural foods. And climate change will impact conventional agriculture more and more.

“We’re growing in 16 days what otherwise takes 30 days in a field — using 95 percent less water, about 50 percent less fertilizers, zero pesticides,herbicides, fungicides.” (CEO Vertical Farm)

DEFINING OPTIMAL GROWTH RECIPES

New technology is driving down costs and processes are improving. Collecting data plays an important role. Optimal growth conditions are specific for every crop and each growth stage.
