Always-fresh produce
Vertical farms can be situated in urban areas so that produce can be delivered to retailers and consumers when it`s at its freshest
Pesticide-free
The closed air cycle and controlled microclimate inside the farm avoid the use of non-biological pesticides, herbicides and acaricides
Fast scaling
Farms can be built in any configuration from 500 to more than 20 000 sq.m. It takes just weeks to design, build, and start growing
Saving space
Vertical tiers maximize space. With no need for soil, farms can be installed in industrial premises, warehouses and workshops
Environmental friendliness
Short supply chains drastically reduce carbon footprints, and controlled environment agriculture methods don`t impact the ecology
Cost savings
Production, processing, warehousing and storage in one location cuts expenditure. With iFarm Growtune software, no highly-qualified employees are needed
Easy cultivation
Process automation and farm management software reduces the risks of a vertical farming business and maximizes yields
Water saving
iFarm vertical farms consume 90-95% less water than traditional agriculture and translucent greenhouses
