Microgreens and Vertical Farming for Food or Profit:

Vertical farming is the practice of producing food in vertically stacked layers, such as in a skyscraper, used warehouse, or shipping container. The modern ideas of vertical farming use indoor farming techniques and controlled-environment agriculture (CEA) technology, where all environmental factors can be controlled. MicroGreens are a tiny form of young edible greens produced from vegetable, herb or other plants. They range in size from one to one and a half inches long, including the stem and leaves. A microgreen has a single central stem. A Vertical Farm of MicroGreens uses pure water, conventional seeds on 100% organic coconut fiber hydroponic growing pads, as the seed bed, and natural bamboo stakes to keep the fiber off the tray bottoms resulting a true hydroponic environment with seeds-to-harvest in about a week. They sell to local restaurants, with roots attached, for about $30 (in 2016) per tray. They use about 1 cup of water per day per tray and electricity for 12-volt LED lighting for an estimated total cost of $6 (2016 prices) to grow one tray.

Matt Barnard: Reimagining and Redefining Cleaner Futures with Indoor Vertical Farming Solutions

Have you ever come across fruits and vegetables that look so delicious and you purchase them, but end up realizing that the looks were far from the taste and quality? Well, you’re not alone. Adulterated, genetically modified, pesticide foods that are grown in dirty and unclean soil and environments tend to lose their taste and quality. They are then injected with chemicals to increase their physical appearances to fool customers into making the purchase. Unclean food or food that is grown in dirty and unhygienic environments can be quite detrimental to the health of its consumers. Therefore a safer approach is sustainable food production and consumption, and organic farming which is healthier, preserves the environment, reduces pollution, is free from adulterants and pesticides, and reduces excess water usage. 

Clean food solutions that are followed consistently aid in improving overall health, preserving and conserving the ecosystem and biodiversity, reducing the use of excess water, reducing the endangerment and extinction of species, efficiently improving the use of natural and renewable resources, reducing greenhouse gas emissions, reducing adverse climatic changes and global warming. The practices in sustainable agriculture by our farmers, agronomists, scientists, and start-up businesses play an enormous role in fostering and establishing urban farming innovations. One such example is Indoor Vertical Farming.

Indoor Vertical Farming Solutions are farming solutions that grow and cultivate crops and diverse food products in a specifically interior-controlled microclimate space that is vertically stacked one upon the other. Wherein this practice is also referred to as – CEA (Controlled-Environment Agriculture), these solutions are a modern and sustainable way of growing and cultivating food ingredients and products alongside advanced technological tools and resources. This reduces the extent of environmental pollution and damage and improves the quality and yield of the crops grown and harvested. Through indoor vertical farming, the food crops are grown in spaces with controllable settings and features such as temperature, lighting, water, and more, in an optimized, clean, and safe environment. 

Therefore in this article, we will be covering the entrepreneurial and inspiring idea and passion for sustainably growing and living by co-founder Matt Barnard’s Indoor Vertical Farming company – Plenty, which is on a mission to – “bring the freshest, cleanest, most crave-able produce to people everywhere”.

The primary benefit of using vertical farming technology is improved crop output with a less unit area of land need. Another sought-after advantage is the enhanced capacity to cultivate a wider range of crops at once because crops do not share the same plots of land while growing. Furthermore, because crops are grown indoors, they are less susceptible to weather disturbances, resulting in less crop losses due to extreme or unexpected weather events. Vertical farming is less disruptive to native plants and animals due to its limited land use, resulting in further protection of the indigenous flora and wildlife.
