Hydroponic Greenhouses

The space available within a greenhouse allows for the use of a wide range of hydroponic farming systems

Aside from lettuces and herbs, mass market crops such as tomatoes, cucumbers, bell peppers, chili, eggplants, etc can be grown using dutch buckets and grow bags.

By eliminating the need for expensive climate control and LED lights, the setup cost for greenhouses is significantly lower than for indoor vertical farms

By utilizing natural light, as well as gravity for the circulation of the water, utility and operating costs are greatly reduced

The standard greenhouse span measures 8x32m, thus taking up a large space while not benefiting from vertical farming

Greenhouses are therefore not suitable for areas with high real estate costs and are better placed in rural and agricultural areas
 

Plants inside greenhouse farms are not fully protected from external factors such as weather, temperature, and humidity

While the insulation cooling systems in a greenhouse can reduce temperatures inside the farm by up to 15 degrees, high outside temperatures can have negative effects on yield and productivity
