This type of agriculture allows continuous autonomous production and an automated harvesting in a 100% controlled climate. This means there is no use of pesticides or fungicides, and this results in consistent products as well as more control and predictability in production.
Automation technology applied to agriculture and provided by our SmartMill-Agricultural Mechatronics division as part of our partnership with Virgo Technologies, enables up to 6 times more efficiency than greenhouse farming and requires up to 95% less water than field agriculture.
