Key Features
Resource Efficiency Infarm’s vertical farming units use 95% less land and water than traditional farming methods. Each unit, occupying just 40 square meters, can produce over 500,000 plants annually, making it up to 400 times more efficient than conventional agriculture.
Diverse Crop Range The company’s product portfolio includes over 75 varieties of plants such as herbs, leafy greens, microgreens, and mushrooms. Infarm is also expanding to include fruiting crops like strawberries, cherry tomatoes, and peppers, meeting a wide range of consumer needs.
Advanced Technology Infarm’s farming units are equipped with lab-grade sensors that collect extensive data on plant growth. This data is uploaded to Infarm’s cloud platform, the “farm brain,” which uses artificial intelligence to optimize growing conditions continuously. This system ensures improved yield, quality, and nutritional value of the crops.
Sustainability The closed-loop system employed by Infarm recycles water and nutrients, and does not require chemical pesticides. By growing crops directly in urban areas, Infarm significantly reduces food miles, thus lowering the overall carbon footprint.
Scalability Infarm’s modular systems are designed to be scalable and adaptable to various urban settings, from small in-store units in supermarkets to large-scale growing centers. This flexibility allows for rapid deployment and the ability to meet local demand efficiently.
Agricultural Applications
Infarm’s vertical farming solutions are ideal for urban environments where traditional agriculture is impractical. By integrating farms into supermarkets, restaurants, and dedicated growing centers, Infarm ensures a steady supply of fresh, locally grown produce. This model enhances food security, reduces dependency on imports, and supports local economies.
