Automated Vertical Farming Solutions
Arctic Farming is an AgriTech company solving global food sustainability crises by disrupting how we produce, process and distribute food to the masses. Our fully automated and easily scalable vertical farming technologies can be used by wholesale, restaurant and retail industries, as well as by modern urban farmers. Our innovative technology enables the hyperlocal production of fresh herbs and leafy greens anywhere at any time, significantly reducing global food waste in the process.
The numerous issues with conventional agriculture range from the large amounts of food waste generated to the immense amounts of water used, and to the overuse of pesticides and fertilizers. In addition, conventional farming is highly susceptible to climate change, posing a significant risk to global food-security.
One-third of all food produced in the world for human consumption is wasted equating to 8% of global GHG emissions.
Food production will need to increase by 69% by 2035 to feed the growing global population and middle class.
Global demand for fresh water is estimated to increase by 55% by 2050 with 70% of global withdrawals already being accounted to agriculture.
One-third of all the world’s food-producing land has been lost in the last 40 years due to erosion or pollution.
Farming in the heart of large consumer centres enables us to minimize food waste during primary production, processing and distribution.
Vertical farming uses both the horizontal and vertical planes of production achieving up to 30x the production per sqm compared to conventional field farming.
Closed-loop system in vertical farming use less than 5% of the water consumption compared to field farming.
Vertical farming achieves higher production efficiencies as conventional field farming while taking just 1% of the land.
- 1. Vertical surface design
Plants are grown horizontally with roots insulated in a separate growth chamber. This vertical surface design is cheaper to operate and more efficient than stacked vertical systems.
- 2. Aeroponic farming
A nutrient-rich water solution is pumped up the wall, aerosolised and misted directly into the plant root zone. This specialised type of vertical farming is called aeroponics.
- 3. Closed-loop irrigation
All excess water is circulated back into the nutrient chamber. This allows us to achieve up to 95% water savings compared to conventional farming.
- 4. A diverse sensor-suite
A range of embedded sensors measure growth relevant variables around and inside the modules.
- 5. Smart technologies
Smart technologies inside the wall analyse the data and react to changes automatically optimising plant growth.
- 6. Full automation
After plugging in the plants, automation takes over, letting you know when plants are ready for harvest.
- 7. Data tracking
All data is tracked and processed in real-time with crucial information displayed in our SaaS based farming platform.
- 8. Computer vision and machine learning
Computer vision and machine learning are used to learn more about plant growth in each growing environment.
- 9. Error detection
Malfunctions are automatically detected and sent to the mobile app as well as to the Arctic Farming maintenance.
