Urban Crops brings us this innovation as an independent reference in the fast-emerging Urban Farming Industry; at this moment they have the largest fully-automated ‘Vertical Farm’ in Europe installed at their headquarters in Beveren-Leie – Belgium. This as a proof-of-concept for potential clients and to further the biological and plant research for new possible crop varieties. Next to manufacturing their cultivation mediums, Urban Crops has over the years developed and tested several solutions which can be used in indoor farming installations.
