Up to 75% less energy consumption:
heating and lighting account for up to 35% of the cost of green tomatoes.

Up to 90% less water consumption:
less heat means lower evaporation rates, which will help relieve the global water crisis.

Greater plant growth:
higher levels of red light will enhance the growth of tomatoes and increase the vitamin C content in mustard, spinach and green onions.

Lower costs:
By the year 2050 the world’s population will exceed 9 billion and 80% of the earth’s population will live in urban centres.

The rise of the world’s population, climate change and the consequent attempts to reduce pollution and the waste of natural resources have led to different improvements in the field of crop growing: the life of LEDs is much longer compared to traditional lamps (up to 50000 against the 2000 hours of other lamps) reducing maintenance costs. They are much more efficient than their fluorescent or incandescent counterparts and provide the right wavelength to speed up crop growth, reducing the waste of water by 99% with energy savings that range from 40 up to 75%.

Why choose farming in a controlled environment?

• no pests, herbicides or other chemical substances are used
• safer crops (no droughts or adverse weather conditions)
• no water outflow from irrigation systems
• control and optimization of temperature, nutrients and light
• abandoned industrial areas and cultivation zones can be reused inside urban
