Nature’s MIRACLE HOLDING Inc. PARTNERS WITH ROBOSTREET to LAUNCH MOBILE E-Farm IN CALIFORNIA @Nature’s Miracle Holding Inc. has announced a new partnership with Robostreet to launch an innovative Mobile E-Farm in California. This collaboration aims to bring sustainable, tech-driven farming solutions to local communities, making fresh produce more accessible through a mobile, high-tech farming platform. The Mobile E-Farm is designed to combine urban farming with advanced technology, offering a flexible, modular system that can be moved to various urban locations. Equipped with state-of-the-art hydroponic and aeroponic systems, the mobile farm operates without soil and uses less water than traditional farming, making it an ideal choice for drought-prone regions like California. This setup allows crops to be grown vertically in stacked layers, optimising space usage and maximising yield within compact urban areas. Nature’s Miracle Holding Inc. has emphasised that the Mobile E-Farm will address the need for fresh, local produce in food deserts and urban centres, where access to healthy food options can be limited.

GyroPlant Partners with Dole plc to Advance Hybrid and Indoor Farming GyroPlant announced an official partnership with Dole plc. This partnership is part of a project supported by Innovate UK and UK Agri-Tech Centre, aimed at advancing hybrid and indoor farming methods for substrate-free production. After successfully growing strawberries substrate-free in CEA over the past year, GyroPlant and Dole are now expanding this approach to include blueberries and leafy greens. According to Sarah Titmuss from Dole, this collaboration will accelerate the search for substrate-free propagation and production systems. The goal is to reduce the carbon footprint, lower production costs, and minimize the ecological impact of food production, all while maintaining crop quality and consistency.

Why did high-tech farming go bust? 🥀 Vertical Farming was one of the big new technologies of the early 2010s. I was certainly blown away when I heard people were growing lemons inside giant containers in Copenhagen! By cultivating crops vertically with less water and no pesticides, big vertical farms promised to revolutionise food production. So why are the same vertical farms going bust across Europe and the US just ten years after they boomed? For this episode of HardwareX, I journeyed to Cambridge, England, to talk with Vijja Wichitwechkarn about his vertical farming automation system MACARONS. Through the question of how to scale your technology, we examine why vertical farming keeps missing the goal, and how open-source innovation could propel it to become the food tech solution we all hoped for. Dive into the conversation here: https://lnkd.in/dE9DkX-x The actual technology is fully open-source and available via HardwareX: https://lnkd.in/dUHarsZB #opensourcehardware #hardwareX #opensource #verticalfarming #futuretech #podcast
