Vertical farm under countless LED lights

Vertical farming, a newly appeared concept at the beginning of 1900s,

means cultivate plant or animal life within a skyscraper greenhouse or on

vertically inclined surfaces. The modern idea of vertical farming uses

techniques similar to glass houses, where natural sunlight can be

augmented with artificial lighting.

Although the practice of vertical farming is in a small scale, Green Sense

Farms took the lead in putting this theory into practice and does have

achieved a lot. It recently unveiled a pair of huge climate-controlled grow

rooms in its Chicago-area production warehouse. By combining towering

racks of vertical hydroponic systems with topledgrowlight’s Mars II LED

grow lights, GSF is able to harvest its crops 26 times a year while using

85 percent less energy, 1/10th the amount of water, no pesticides or

herbicides, and reducing the facility's CO2 output by two tons a month. It

even produces an average of 46 pounds of oxygen every day.

They produce little waste, no agricultural runoff and minimal greenhouse

gasses because the food is grown where it is consumed. All of this should

thanks to Mars II LED grow lights, which effectively optimize the light's

wavelength to whatever is growing beneath it, doing so isn't too difficult.

What's more, since these are LEDs, the temperature of which is quite low

without fear of burning them—which reduces the vertical farm's footprint

and ensures that every leaf gets uniformly blasted with illumination.

What’s more, there are two switches on the lights. One is for veg, while

another is for bloom, which makes it easier for the growers to adapt the

lights, thus to have a good harvest. The full spectrum can meet all the

needs of the plants’ growth.

It is estimated that by the year 2050, approximately 80% of the world’s

population will live in urban areas and the total population of the world

will increase by 3 billion people. A very large amount of land may be

required depending on the change in yield per hectare. Scientists are

concerned that this large amount of required farmland will not be

available and that severe damage to the earth will be caused by the added

farmland. Vertical farms, if designed properly, may eliminate the need to

create additional farmland and help create a cleaner environment. But all

of this could not achieve without the installation of lights, especially LED

grow lights.
