Visions for the future

Plant Factory

Vertical farmingAs high-rise buildings people live, Verticalfarming will be the place crops and vegetablesgrow in future. So we can call it SkyscraperAgriculture. Agriculture production activitiesnow in fields will be completed in Multi-dimensional space. It will be a high efficientproduction and high-yield systems, whichsimulate the biological growth environment.
