The future of farming is vertical

We are using vertical farming to create a modern, sustainable form of agriculture, providing a purposeful response to the key challenges of our time.

We are facing one of the greatest challenges of our century: reliably supplying a growing world population despite scarce resources, natural climate change, unstable supply chains and limited agricultural land.

The solution at hand is vertical farming - with multi-storey controlled-environment cultivation systems where plants can grow under optimum conditions all year round. A forward-looking concept that Vertic Greens is systematically and efficiently implementing with leading technology.

Global agriculture at its limits

Vertical farming is not a new idea, but it must now become a key piece of technology because agriculture as we know it is  under pressure across the globe:

Versorgung im Wandel
  • cultivation areas are becoming scarcer due to increasing urbanization and other factors
  • the dwindling resources must be used more efficiently
  • supply chains are shaken by global crises
  • regional price fluctuations are affecting producers and consumers
  • climate change and extreme weather events are decreasing harvests
  • pesticides are affecting the environment and people’s health

We are already seeing the consequences: declining food quality, dwindling confidence in stable supply and a polluted environment. Biodiversity is falling and ecosystems are getting damaged, and this will continue to worsen if no new solutions are found.

Why we are reinventing cultivation

70 %

of global freshwater is consumed by agriculture

90 %

of ocean and freshwater pollution is caused by agriculture

80 %

of leafy greens in Germany contain detectable residues of pesticides

33 %

of all food is lost before it reaches consumers

50 %

of the habitable land available is already being used for agriculture

85 %

of the 28,000 endangered species on the Red List are threatened by the agricultural industry

Location-independent plant growth through vertical farming

Vertical farming shifts the cultivation of edible plants and crops to a place where they can be grown reliably: from outdoors to indoors. What may seem unnatural at first is actually the opposite. Why? Because space-saving cultivation on stacked levels follows the exact principles of nature - with the advantages of a controlled environment, precise planning and no chemicals.

The plants grow under perfect conditions: optimal light, ideal nutrients, constant temperatures and a completely protected environment. All year round. And anywhere in the world.

Vertical farming enables a stable supply with the highest quality nutrients that can be planned on a global scale, at the same time saving valuable space and cutting back on key resources such as water and energy.

We are turning vertical farming into a profitable system-change model

Despite great potential, the young sector has been repeatedly put to the test due to challenges in development, a lack of automation maturity and a lack of experience in the industry too. Vertic Greens is more than just one step ahead: we have already revolutionized vertical farming.

We offer turnkey, fully-automated vertical farming systems, relying on tried-and-tested technologies that have proven themselves in industry as well as the Heron Group's decades’ worth of automation expertise, combined with artificial intelligence.

While our competitors are still investing in system development, we are supplying systems that are fully scalable and ready for the global market to the food, medicine and cosmetics industry. These are the sectors where responsibility is becoming the new currency, alongside efficiency.

Our vision

We are fundamentally changing global supply by reliably producing high-quality, healthy plant products. Vertic Greens combines revolutionary vertical farming with industrial precision to create a profitable system-change model – space-saving, sustainable, meaningfully automated and infinitely scalable. For the agriculture of the future – now.

98 % water savings

Conventional agriculture consumes an enormous amount of water. Thanks to highly-efficient, closed water circuits, this can be reduced with a view to the future.

0 pesticides used

Pesticides not only harm unwanted organisms, but beneficial plants, animals and human well-being too. They contribute to declining biodiversity worldwide. In vertical farming facilities, plants grow in a protected environment without the use of chemicals.

97 % less space required

Vertic Greens achieves up to 400 times the yield per m². This means that even urban areas can be supplied with large quantities of fresh, high-quality food in a way that’s environmentally friendly. Less land required for cultivation also means more space for species-appropriate animal husbandry and natural habitats.

Globally local

Vertical farming can be operated independently of external climatic conditions. This enables fresh, nutritious food to be cultivated worldwide - in affordable quality and for everyone.

95 % fewer emissions

Vertical farming is also done in cities or the immediate vicinity of urban areas. This results in shorter transport routes, cutting back on a large proportion of the emissions that would otherwise be produced. A significantly shorter supply chain with a positive impact on the climate.

Year-round harvest

By using vertical farming, production and harvesting can be precisely timed, done at short intervals and in a way that saves resources, regardless of the season and at any time of year.

Wholesome nutrition

Combining natural principles with modern food science results in fresher, more varied food containing more nutrients being supplied to the world.

80 % less fertilizer required

Thanks to precise nutrient management as part of a closed circuit, significantly less fertilizer gets added. Nutrients get precisely dosed out and made full use of, instead of being washed out into the soil or water. This is efficient for production and kind to the environment.
