21 Sep 2023 --- Belgium-based Urban Crop Solutions (UCS) and Germany’s Aixponic have developed a new technology in sustainable agriculture that cultivates saltwater plants through indoor farming technology. The collaboration addresses water scarcity issues faced by the F&B industry by minimizing freshwater usage through saltwater irrigation. It also emphasizes the broader potential of indoor vertical farming which has potential to go beyond growing leafy greens and hone in on crops with nutraceutical benefits.
