But what is so different to this farm compared to the hundreds of other farms that have passed the revue over the last few years? According to BrightBox, the facility allows to research the entire cultivation and commercial application instead of just focusing on light, irrigation or automation. The BrightBox has a total of three cells; there are two cells to research and one cell that will act as a commercial setting that can be scaled up.
