why InvertiGro?
Indoor Vertical Farming has been identified as one of
the most efficient means of addressing
the global increase in demand
for sustainable and safe fresh produce,
whilst also tackling critical food security and supply chain issues.
​
WHY INDOOR FARMING?
WHY NOW?
Increasing demand (from growing populations) and diminishing resources, combined with external disruptions are reducing the reliability and sustainability of fresh produce supplies.
​
Increasingly discerning consumers are fuelling demand for more exotic out-of-season, premium quality, pesticide-free produce and suppliers are increasingly conscious of the need to be more sustainable.
​
As a result, businesses are seeking simple, affordable and sustainable solutions to produce reliable supplies of quality fresh produce. InvertiGro delivers!

WHAT IS INDOOR VERTICAL FARMING?
Indoor Vertical Farming is essentially exactly as the name suggests: farming on stacked surfaces in enclosed spaces, where the growing environment can be protected and controlled.
HYDROPONICS
InvertiGro's InvertiCube and InvertiWall systems use flood-drain hydroponics.
​
Hydroponics is the growing of plants without soil.
This highly efficient method of growing has many benefits:
- higher yields through faster grow cycles and smaller root systems;
- elimination of soil-borne pests and the need for pesticides,
- reduction in water requirements through water recycling and reuse within the system.
​
BENEFITS OF HYDROPONICS
Growing hydroponically (and through extensive R&D), we are able to deliver the optimum water and nutrient requirements directly to the plants’ roots to produce healthy, nutritious and reliable produce, without the need for fertilisers.
In addition, given that hydroponic growing is conducted in a controlled, indoor environment, it allows for year-round growth, unaffected by any unpredictable environmental factors: floods, fires, droughts or pests.
