Video: Vertical farm salad bar in Istanbul

Ekbic is a vertical farm salad bar in Istanbul that grows lettuce, mint, parsley, chives, leek, and dill in one shelf in an NFT growing unit.

LED is used for lighting, and central automation for fertilizer. This fertilizer is organic, and no chemicals are used for spraying. Each unit has 4 shelves, and each shelf has 4 gullies. Each growing unit has its own water circulation, and central automation controls EC and pH levels.

Insects are kept at bay by using organic crop protection, as well as light traps. Watch the video below for an impression of this unusual salad bar.
