Technical FAQs 4

How has container farming revolutionized agriculture?

Container farming has revolutionized agriculture by making it possible to grow food virtually anywhere. Freight Farms’ Greenery™ is a cutting-edge example, leveraging advanced hydroponic systems, LED lighting, and climate control to create the ideal growing environment within a shipping container.

What is container farming?

Widespread foodborne illness outbreaks, shipping interruptions due to natural disasters, and the depletion of our land and natural resources. Container farming is a method of indoor, small-space farming that was pioneered by Freight Farms in 2011 with the Leafy Green Machine.

Why are container farms better than traditional farming?

Firstly, container farms have a drastically reduced water footprint compared to traditional farming they use around 90% less water! Secondly, because everything is contained within one space (pun intended), pests and diseases can be easily managed without resorting to harmful pesticides or extensive crop losses.

What is vertical container farming?

With these cutting-edge technologies, container farming provides a flexible, sustainable solution to meet growing food demands and support local food production. Learn how three important systems–hydroponics, indoor grow lights, and climate control–work together to make vertical container farming possible.
