Electric future for growing indoors

Companies like IDM and Arugga AI Farming are introducing advanced electric platforms and robotic solutions to optimize plant management, while businesses like Universal Fabricating continue to expand their greenhouse construction operations.

Global efforts include 297 Farm's mission in Aruba to reduce reliance on imported food, and Norwegian berry growers form a collaborative "legal cartel" to ensure fair pricing.

In addition, Van der Ende Group is strengthening its position in water solutions, and Bluesky Hydroponics is upgrading its automated sorting systems.

Industry collaborations, like the six-year agreement between GreenTech and AVAG, emphasize the importance of cooperation, while innovations in solar technology by Mirai Solar help them win grand prizes in the industry.
