Urban Barns Foods, a Canada-based local grower of green leaf vegetables, has introduced a sustainable commercial growing facility, Cubic Farming growing practices.
This next generation agriculture is an indoor practice which will increase yields to economically achieve commercial volumes of food grown locally.
This facility will utilize the entire cubic space in a building and yield naturally without using genetically modified plants, said the company.
Urban Barns Foods strategic marketing president and director Richard Groome said that with the help of Cubic Farming about 436 machines can be placed on one acre of land stacked 3 high and produce 6.3 million heads of lettuce per acre from 10 crops annually.
Urban Barns' Cubic Farming uses propriety equipment to produce local grown vegetables in a controlled environment.
