Salad, herbs, and berries

Short-cycle crops grown in greenhouses and plant factories, where light recipe, root-zone control, and hygiene do most of the work.

Salad, herbs, and berries

Indoor lettuce

Fast, predictable, and highly responsive to light and root-zone temperature. Lettuce is the workhorse crop for plant factories and the fastest route to a repeatable protocol.

  • Deep flow and nutrient film systems with controlled solution temperature
  • Light recipes tuned for weight, colour, and leaf shape
  • Cycle protocols that hold quality year-round regardless of weather

Indoor herbs

High value per square metre and strong demand from food service. Herbs are sensitive to light spectrum and airflow, which makes them a good test of a facility's precision.

  • Spectrum tuning for aroma compounds and leaf density
  • Airflow management to keep canopies dry and compact
  • Staggered planting for continuous weekly supply

Indoor spinach

Difficult in the open tropics because of heat and disease pressure, and therefore an obvious candidate for controlled environments.

  • Root-zone cooling to keep the crop out of heat stress
  • Tight humidity control to suppress foliar disease
  • Clean hydroponic culture that avoids soil-borne pathogens

Indoor strawberries

A premium crop that normally demands highland conditions. Under cover, the climate can be brought to the crop rather than the crop to the mountain.

  • Table-top growing at working height on controlled substrate
  • Day and night temperature strategy to drive flowering and fruit set
  • Managed pollination inside an enclosed structure
