Some of the students recently went on an excursion at the Maritime museum to explore the different uses of shipping containers. Little did we know that the horticulture industry was already using shipping containers to create farms. We thought this was the PERFECT solution to ensure EVERYONE in the country has access to safe, affordable and healthy food. Imagine walking out of your door and right in the city centre was a thriving farm. We decided to do some investigation into freight farms... WHAT ARE THEY? These farm systems are complete indoor vertical farming systems that are capable of producing fresh, healthy plants anywhere in the world in ANY CLIMATE! The system is to help farmers expand their business and help make farms more sustainable FEATURES Lighting - LED lightings to promote maximum growth Insulation Air - recapture the evaporated water from the air Size - purpose built Clean - chemical free Water - uses less than 40lt of water a day
