Technical approach

As reported

LED growing

Optimized spectrum lighting

Full-spectrum LED lights replace sunlight, allowing precise control of wavelengths to enhance flavor and nutrition in microgreens.

Vertical stacking

Layers of growing channels

Crops grow in stacked trays under LEDs, using 95% less water and land than field farming while enabling year-round production.

Climate control

Automated environment management

Temperature, humidity, CO2, and nutrient delivery are automatically controlled to optimize growth rate and consistency.

Water recycling

Hydroponic recirculation

Nutrient solution is recirculated through the growing channel system, reducing water use and runoff compared to soil farming.
