Salad- and herbmarkets are growing. At the same time many growers are thinking about investing in enlarged production areas. Is this good time to invest in growth? With the help of led lighting it is possible to increase production area without heavy building investment or competing for land with neighbours. Multilayer technology is already available and by lifecycle calculations it is a more profitable way to grow than in a single layer.
Leds can also be used to give extra light to lower layers in solutions, where removable tables are used for growing and gutters are added by very lightweight structures as a second layer. This helps to react to changing demand of more special products, like some herbs before big holiday seasons.
Multilayer growing also offers a great possibility to easily create more growing space for young plants within the existing premises.
