Project Description
Growing veggies takes a lot of space, because they are growing on one layer, but what if they can grow on multiple layers?! Here it comes Vertical Farming, using less space, growing more, less water usage, growing all year long. Fully sustainable using solar panels and even rain water. It can be placed in cities too. The project was tested, it worked, but I did not included at full project because it's stopped due to funding and was for myself only.

Description of the project
Summary
This type of farming can be used anywhere. It's becoming harder to have fresh veggies these days, but growing them in the city can be a game changer.
Key objectives for sustainability
The farm can use solar panels for electricity and rain water, but even if not using rain water, the efficiency of water usage is up to 90%. It takes a lot less space than a normal farm, so more place for trees.
Key objectives for aesthetics and quality
It's gonna be placed in a container, so the aesthetics are not the best, but the beauty comes from inside. It will use AC in winter and depeding on the region, only the heat from the growing leds or a separate heater. For growing them we are gonna use natural liquid kind of compost for growing the plants, including ph meter for monitoring the ph and changing it to normal values.
Key objectives for inclusion
The food can be purchased by anyone. I'm thinking at placing them in cities so people can have fresh veggies all the time.
Physical or other transformations
Innovative character
We can deliver the food directly to people or to restaurants.
About the farm: since there are only kits, we need to build everything, just the container can remain almost the same.
