What is your approach to vertical farming and what technologies are you employing? 

AL: iFarm is an industrial-scale AgTech provider for growing plants vertically in controlled environments. Our proprietary hydroponic farming systems are pre-designed for indoor farming projects, ranging from 500 to 20,000m2, and can grow a variety of crops, including leafy greens, microgreens, strawberries, and vegetables, using NFT, NST, or Flood & Drain techniques. Modularity is the key principle of our farming technologies.

In addition to hardware solutions, iFarm provides iFarm Growtune software that streamlines farm processes such as microclimate control, system monitoring, scheduling and planning, CRM, API, and price management. We also offer agrotechnology: over 200+ plant growth recipes, with new formulas constantly being created, tested and released, to help our clients maximise their yields. iFarm offers one the most cost-effective vertical farming solutions with the lowest CAPEX. It’s important to note that iFarm does not own any farms and does not compete with its customers.
