About VertiCrop

About company

VertiCropTM is a high density, fully automated, closed loop conveyer hydroponic vertical farming system. In a 50-foot by 75-foot space, there are 120 racks with 24 growing trays on each rack which produces as much food as a 16-acre farm. The vertical farming technology grows plants in a suspended tray system moving on an overhead conveyor system. Each rack moves around the greenhouse in a computer-operated environment which controls room temperature, lighting, fertilization, irrigation and recapturing of the water being used. The system is designed to provide maximum sunlight and precisely the correct nutrients to each plant. Ultraviolet light and filter systems exclude the need for herbicides and pesticides.
