The plant factory is now the hottest topic. In the past, Xi Xi visited the national “Twelfth Five-Year†Science and Technology Innovation Achievement Exhibition in the Beijing Exhibition Hall. Highly praised the plant factory technology, the plant factory can be used to solve people's livelihood problems, desert cultivation, etc., is a good product for the benefit of the country and the people.
Later, at the recent Guangya exhibition, many manufacturers exhibited related products and tried to grab the cake.
In 2016, the United States lost at least 1.5 million acres of arable land each year due to urbanization. To compensate for this land loss, AeroFarms has built an indoor vertical farm and has begun planning to build a 9th base in Newark, New Jersey, just one kilometer from Manhattan, New York. This will be the world's largest vertical farm, with a 70,000-square-foot facility that can produce 2 million pounds of food a year and save 95% of water compared to crops grown in ordinary fields.
Since 2004, AeroFarms has been using a fog cultivation system to address the global food crisis. AeroFarms explained on its website that this technology provides “faster harvest times, more accurate predictions, better food safety and less environmental impact.†Vertical farms can not only grow large amounts of nutritious vegetables and herbs. And the farm output on the same scale as outdoor is increased by 75%.
AeroFarms uses 22 crops per year for rotation, regardless of season, so food production is amazing. Advanced agricultural systems do not erode the soil, and pesticides, water use, and carbon emissions are greatly reduced, sometimes not even needed at all.
LED lights and climate control systems are specially designed to grow more than 250 green vegetables and herbs without the need for sunlight or soil. These unique lighting options allow AeroFarms to control the size, shape, texture, color, nutrition and flavor of green vegetables and herbs. These foods have an extremely long shelf life, with the highest food safety standards from breeding to packaging.
AeroFarms has also developed patents for reusable cloth media for breeding, germination, planting and harvesting of food. Each cloth medium is made up of 24 recycled plastic water bottles that are fully sterilized after each harvest. In addition, the cloth medium acts as a barrier between the plant and the puff, helping to harvest clean, dry, ready-to-eat food.
AeroFarms said: "We are building the world's largest vertical farm in Newark, New Jersey. We have similar farms on all four continents. Today's world needs safe, reliable and nutritious food, and we are working to expand globally."
Marc Oshima, chief marketing officer at AeroFarms, explains why New Jersey was chosen as the perfect place to build a vertical farm. New Jersey Governor Chris Christie even personally came to visit.
After more than a year of construction, the Newark City vertical farm is nearing completion and AeroFarms is opening up the area ready for use. The aisles are filled with tall shelves that can only be transported by forklift cranes. Farmers must wear full uniforms, including gloves, lab coats, and sterilized shoes.
The top of the planting trough is equipped with an LED lighting system that simulates sunlight, and the spectrum and light intensity that are most suitable for its growth are designed for different crops.
For the human eye, LEDs appear white, while for plants, they are bathed in red and blue.
Small fans are installed at the junction of each planting tank to provide sufficient oxygen to the plants while also allowing the nutrient solution to be sprayed more evenly.
Sensors installed in the planting tank sample 30,000 data points to track plant growth. The data obtained will be sent to scientists at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology or Harvard University for analysis to continuously improve the way plants are grown.
If cabbage is unable to germinate under certain spectral and oxygen levels, the staff will change this setting when planting the next batch. AeroFarms is constantly doing comparative tests to find the "algorithm" that is most suitable for plant growth.
Workers can even change the taste of vegetables by adjusting the “algorithm†to make them more spicy or sweeter.
Each year, AeroFarms will be able to harvest 20 times and produce about 2 million pounds (about 910,000 kg) of vegetables. Compared to traditional land farming, such as the outdoor farms in New York, even in good years, only three times a year can be harvested.
AeroFarms saves 95% of water and 50% of fertilizer compared to traditional soil-growing vegetables. Plants are not isolated from the outside world because they are isolated from the outside world.
AeroFarms not only helps to deal with the problem of farmland loss in the United States, but also wants to help fight the global food shortage. The World Bank predicts that by 2050, the global population will increase to 9 billion people, at least 50% more food supply than today. Current climate change could result in a 25% reduction in crop yields, and the world's poorest countries could be hit hard.
