Take a look at what's growing inside the @profetafarms vertical greenhouse! By growing vertically, innovative, forward-looking farmers like Profeta are able to grow better food for their local markets with less water and fewer resources. The single-sided, vertical plane design of #ZipGrow Towers helps greenhouse growers in norther latitudes maximize their production and be smarter their light use. The three white sides of the #ZipGrows help to reflect any light not absorbed by the south-facing side to other towers in the mass, increasing the amount and quality of produce a grower can actually sell while reducing light extinction. And instead of growing on a single horizontal plane (yet still heating and cooling the entire volume of space in their high tunnels) vertical farmers can now utilize the volumetric space to double or triple their production. "Volumetric farming" - another term for this specific style - is empowering farms like Profeta with even more ways to grow fresh, sustainable food for their local markets. #localfood #localfarmer #smallfarmers #ag #farminglife #farmtotable #farmtoplate #verticalfarm #verticalfarming #agtech #business #marketing #biz #entrepreneur #urbanfarm #urbanfarming #eatlocal #betterfood #greenhouse #ZipGrowing
