Introducing the latest hydroponic structure for vertical farming, the multi-layered vertical farming system features rows of stacked cultivation trays using the Deep Flow Technique (DFT). This innovative system relies on an overhead track to move the entire cultivation system, providing automated watering, drainage, and increased illumination capabilities. The system consists of a main frame, suspension structure, mobile drive system, control system, cultivation tray, and water supply and drainage system.
With a yield approximately 20 times higher than traditional field crops and utilizing only 8% of the water typically required for irrigation, this vertical farming solution is ideal for non-arable land and projects located close to urban centers. By eliminating the need for harmful herbicides or pesticides, this system is capable of growing over 80 different varieties of leafy green vegetables while significantly reducing operational and capital costs associated with traditional agriculture. Additionally, the system reduces transportation distances, lowering costs, energy consumption, and carbon footprint, while offering higher quality products with increased nutritional value and extended shelf life due to the high level of enclosed growth for food safety. Furthermore, it is scalable from small-scale to large-scale food production operations.
