What is the Vertical Farming Development Centre?
The Vertical Farming Development Centre (VFDC) is made up of two facilities: the Vertical Farm Demonstrator and the Dynamic Vertical Farm Cabinet.
The Vertical Farm Demonstrator is a commercial-grade vertical farm consisting of two identical growth chambers, each with full climate control (temperature, relative humidity)
The Dynamic Vertical Farming Cabinet is a smaller standalone unit which provides ultra precise climate controls supported by real time data. Each row offers approximately 1.5m2 growing area and is independently controlled and automated to fine tune light, irrigation and nutrients, allowing different crops to be grown simultaneously.
