Vertical farming and hydroponics

Vertical farming and hydroponics are two innovative approaches to urban agriculture that are rapidly gaining popularity due to their ability to address the challenges of producing fresh, healthy, and sustainable food in urban areas.
Vertical farming is a method of growing crops in vertically stacked layers, often in indoor environments. This approach maximizes the use of space, allows for year-round production, and reduces water usage and pesticide needs. It also enables farmers to create precise growing conditions, such as temperature, humidity, and light levels, resulting in faster growth rates and higher yields. Vertical farming is particularly well-suited to urban areas, where land is scarce and expensive, and fresh produce is often transported over long distances.
Hydroponics, on the other hand, involves growing plants in nutrient-rich water instead of soil. This method allows for more efficient use of resources, such as water and nutrients, and enables farmers to create precise growing conditions for their crops. Hydroponics also eliminates the need for pesticides and reduces the risk of soil-borne diseases, resulting in healthier plants and safer food. Hydroponics is a popular choice for vertical farming, as it allows for plants to be grown in a soil-free environment and can be easily integrated into the stacked layers of a vertical farm.
Both vertical farming and hydroponics have significant benefits for the environment and local communities. By producing fresh, locally grown produce in urban areas, these approaches reduce the carbon footprint associated with transporting food over long distances and promote sustainable land use practices. They also provide access to fresh, healthy food in areas where traditional agriculture may not be feasible, such as densely populated cities or regions with harsh climates.
In conclusion, vertical farming and hydroponics are innovative approaches to urban agriculture that offer a sustainable and efficient solution to the challenges of producing fresh, healthy, and locally grown food in urban areas. With ongoing advancements in technology and creative approaches to utilizing urban spaces, these approaches have the potential to transform our food systems and improve the health and well-being of urban communities.
The company LLC "Modern Technologies of Agribusiness" has created a line of energy efficient greenhouse structures for Clients interested in minimizing operating costs, in particular for heating. The range of solutions provides projects for self-sufficiency, small farms, large agricultural enterprises.
Our approach
Our approach implies the creation of regional energy-efficient greenhouse facilities with minimization of heat loss, maximization of the conservation of thermal energy during the day (for use at night) and during the summer (for use in the autumn-winter period).
The calculation of architectural and technological solutions is carried out using a variant method using our own software product, which allows reducing heating costs (in comparison with ordinary greenhouse structures) by:
up to 42% - for northern regions
up to 34% - for central regions
up to 23% - for the southern regions.
The company LLC "Modern Technologies of Agribusiness" accompanies the implementation of projects from idea to commissioning; a project manager is assigned to each project. To increase the profitability of greenhouse farms, we provide for open ground, mushroom growing and other types of management: thus, the payback period of projects is reduced and the business cash flow does not “sink” in the summer, when the market is filled with products grown in the open ground.
For special customers - solutions for the production of environmentally friendly products both in the open field and year-round crop production
