Sustainability thanks to innovation
Our holistic, agroecological approach:
Precision control of environmental factors:
Our CEA systems enable the precise regulation of environmental factors such as temperature, humidity, CO2 content and light intensity. This controlled environment enables optimized plant development and production, minimizing energy consumption. At the same time, we significantly reduce water consumption by irrigating selectively and according to need.
Efficient LED illumination:
Our lighting system consists of highly efficient LED lights that are used not only for photosynthesis, but mainly for targeted illumination of the plants to trigger secondary mechanisms. This allows precise control of plant growth while saving many times more electricity than conventional lighting methods.
Ultrasonic fogging for efficient irrigation:
Our irrigation technology is based on advanced ultrasonic fogging. This innovative method uses high-frequency sound waves to transform water into tiny mist particles. This enables precise and finely dosed irrigation that minimizes water requirements while ensuring optimal moisture control for plants.
Intelligent sensor technology and automation:
Our technology uses advanced sensors and automation systems to monitor and adjust plant growth, health and environmental conditions in real time. This achieves greater efficiency and minimizes energy consumption.
Circular economy and waste reduction:
We promote the circular economy through the use of recycling and reuse systems. Our technology minimizes waste and enables the conversion of organic residues into valuable resources, helping to reduce CO2 emissions associated with disposal.
Sustainable Sourcing and SDGs:
By producing plants and food directly on site, we minimize the need for transport and storage. This not only reduces CO2 emissions, but also promotes the creation of a sustainable, regional food system. Our technology supports the UN SDGs, particularly in relation to sustainable agriculture, clean water and climate protection.
AgTech Optimization:
Our technology uses advanced AgTech applications such as Digital Twins, Big Data analytics and AI to optimize crop growth and resource use. This results in an efficient, resource-saving process and helps reduce the carbon footprint.
CO2 savings per crop cycle:
CEA cultivation can result in about 30-50% CO2 savings compared to conventional outdoor cultivation.
Water savings per crop cycle:
CEA cultivation can achieve water savings of about 70-90% compared to outdoor cultivation.
Energy efficiency of lighting:
By using efficient LED lights, CEA cultivation can save about 50-80% energy compared to conventional lighting.
Waste reduction:
CEA cultivation can provide a waste reduction of about 50-70% compared to outdoor cultivation, thanks to the use of recycling and reuse systems.
Plant growth and yields:
CEA cultivation can achieve yield increases of about 20-50% per area per crop cycle compared to outdoor cultivation.
Compliance with UN SDGs:
CEA cultivation can effectively meet about 70-90% of the United Nations' sustainability goals.
Economic viability:
CEA cultivation can result in a return on investment of about 15-30%, depending on specific cultivation and market factors.
These reference values may vary depending on specific technology, location, crop and other factors. However, they provide a general idea of how CEA cultivation can lead to significant improvements in the above KPIs compared to conventional outdoor cultivation.
