TO THE FUTURE
The indoor agriculture
revolution 3.0...
What is Indoor Vertical Farming ?
Indoor farming is the practice of producing food on vertically inclined surfaces. This efficient, safe and pioneering cultivation method applies agriculture where it is consumed while producing fresh, healthy and tasty produce without the seasonal, geographical and climatic restrictions.
WHY INDOOR
FARMING
The advantages of Indoor Vertical Farming
Pure
Controlled and sterile environment to prevent contamination issues at the source – no pesticides needed and the produce is ready to eat
Efficient
Saving on utilities and labor with closed-loop design and automated tasks, minimizing the cost per plant
Traceable
The rigorous quality control of the whole process allows collection of all cultivation parameters (Crucial for medicinal plants) and enables giving each crop a “traceability certificate”
Uniform
Implementation of stable growth recipes & operational “know-how” permits consistency and reproducible premium produce across multiple facilities
Scalability
Modular systems designed to grow with the business needs and market demand
Flexibility
Grow a wide variety of crops with one single technology. Quickly and easily switch between crops. Systems are designed for use anywhere on the planet and anywhere in the value chain.
Local
Growing premium produce locally reduces the environmental agricultural impact and increase the quality, freshness and taste
Affordable
Very efficient cultivation systems leading to very reasonable production costs.
Greater yields and less waste, drive higher profitability without large initial CAPEX
Smart
A complete proprietary and sustainable ecosystem that is simple to operate, supported by AI, remote monitoring and controls, known and proven protocols & procedures and continuous R&D and optimization
Year-round Availability
365 days per year of continuous cultivation without seasonal, geographic or climatic restrictions.
Farmers 2.0
Indoor vertical farmers enjoy a safe and comfortable work environment while eliminating the occupational hazards associated with traditional farming.
Automated
Thanks to the latest developments in vision diagnostics & robotics, simple tasks like seedling, harvesting and post harvesting activities can be automated efficiently.
Tower Farm combined urban and vertical farming to open the door to the future of edible and medicinal plant growing
Our patented technology is an indoor growing platform supporting the cultivation of the
world’s largest selection of crops.
The “Growin” unit is made of a set of four vertical rotating towers with 1200 to 1800 growing holes. This exclusive fully automatic and digital management system controls and optimizes the cultivation process of both plants and roots. Our pioneering proven and patented Growin cultivation unit is a unique combination of data-driven automation.
Benefits:
-
Local produce, served from farm-to-table within hours
-
Pesticides free. No need to wash plants before eating
-
30% shorter growing cycle compared with open field agriculture offer higher yields
-
Controlled quality, improved freshness and longer shelf-life
-
Year-round production
-
Lower risk - seasonality and climate independence
Day-Night Light
-
Each tower completes a rotation in 24 hours, mimicking a day's natural cycle while Day and Night are existing at the same time.
-
LED lamps recreate the sun's light spectrum at each phase of the day
-
Dark areas provide the plants with needed rest time
Nutrition
-
The plants grow outside the tower; the roots - inside
-
Micro-vaporization of water & nutrients sprayed directly onto the roots with plenty of oxygen exposure
-
Water and nutrients are recovered in a closed circuit to save on resources and reduce environmental footprint

STORY
Take a tour in the most advanced commercial indoor farm in France ...
Our development model
Tower Farm's business is divided into two production divisions:
-
The division of edible plants
-
The division of medicinal plant
These two production divisions meet two fundamental ecological requirements: The absence of pesticide use and the maximum reduction of the carbon footprint.
To meet these two requirements, plants intended for direct food consumption are cultivated as close as possible to places of consumption and plants intended for the pharmaceutical and cosmetic industry, which are most often imported from distant lands, are cultivated as closely as possible. laboratories.
Thus, in its export development, Tower Farm does not export products but its technology, by putting its know-how at the service of those around the world who want to meet the same ecological requirements.
Unique growing recipes
We are currently developing growing recipes ("cultivation protocols") for the following plants:
And much more....
Our detailed cultivation protocols illustrate exactly what conditions each plant needs in order to achieve certain characteristics that interest us. These include flavor, texture, color, active ingredient content etc.
