Indoor-Farming Alliance Fights Food Insecurity

A rapid-construction manufacturer of weather-resistant greenhouses has created an alliance with an agtech, whose patented hydroponic farming system yields five to six times more produce than traditional growing methods. 

Sprung Structures' and ZipGrow's combined technologies offer a unique solution to food security, especially in remote areas or those vulnerable to supply-chain disruptions. Leafy greens, lettuce, bok choy, and herbs like basil and chives are grown vertically in patented towers, in a year-round growing season.

This evolution in food production combines vertical hydroponics growing towers in a naturally lit environment, and a structure able to withstand hurricane winds and extreme hot and cold temperatures.
