Transition from humter gatherersto agrarian sociey
Sachs and Knop made the first nutrient solution
for plants
First known multilayered Vertical Farm
John Woodward - mint plants in a hydroponic system
Interest in hydroponicsexperiments with nutrient solutions
instead of soil
WWII - hydroponic food production
to supply the U.S.A. army
The book “The Vertical Farm: Feeding the World in the 21st Century:
by Dr. Dickson Despommier added vision
to the use of the technology
- Climate computers monitoring nutrient solution, humidity, CO2, temperature and light.
- Broad light recipe: a steady 150 to 200μmol/m2/s of photons. Broad recipe: 75% red (630nm), 15% blue (450nm), 10% far red (730nm).
