Water consumption reduction
Up to 95% less water than traditional agriculture. 70% of our water supply is used for agriculture. It is estimated that in 2050 this percentage will be increased to 85%.
Enviriomental impact
Pesticides and herbicides free
As they are closed and controlled systems, there is no risk of damage caused by external agents or pests, so the product is always free of pesticides and herbicides.
“At the same time that we protect the planet, we take care of our health”.
Less food mileage
By growing at places of consumption or processing factories carbon footprint is significantly reduced. Nowadays, our food travels an average of 1500 kilometres to get to our homes. During this journey, crops lose a considerable amount of nutrients, meaning a 50% fall in their nutritional value in the next days after harvest.
Less food waste
At present, 40% of the production does not reach the consumer due to loses before and after harvest. Indoor systems increase the amount of useful product. Besides, they get products with larger shelf life, due to food takes less time to get at the consumption point, thus less food is thrown away.
Minimun floor area ratio
250 times more productive than traditional agriculture per sqm of land. According to recent studies, it is estimated that in 2050 an area as large as Brazil would be needed to supply the global demand for agricultural products.
Location near to the costumer area
These systems favour the development of sustainable and self-sufficient cities since they can be installed near to the consumer area, distribution centres or processing factories.
