The advantages of Growin’s vertical farm climate challenged world are many. - The controlled environment decouples crop growth from locally changing climate and weather conditions, devastating weather effects and damages from pests and disease. - The carefully controlled environment requires drastically lower fertilizer and water inputs than fertigation requirements for outdoor crops. - Produce is shipped shorter distances to markets, saving on freight emissions and reducing the waste of perishable goods in transit. The proximity enables local resilience for food security - The land footprint is much smaller than outdoor crops, freeing up land for carbon opportunity uptakes (costs of land use), and mitigating water stress, soil degradation (erosion, salination and compaction), soil derived emissions of nitrous oxide and nutrient leaching from agricultural lands can add quantification on land use “saved” . Equate annual yield in heads/weight to typical for acre/hectare.
