- Traditional agriculture is coming under increasing pressure from climate change: Today indoor farming offers a resource-conserving alternative
- Siemens supplies automation and digitalization technologies to make indoor farming safer and more productive
- By working with Siemens, indoor farming company 80 Acres Farms can run farms on 100 percent renewable energy, yield 300 times more than conventional farmland, and use 95 percent less water
Growing lettuce in the
desert using environmentally friendly methods? Yes, it’s possible. Looking
ahead, it’s important to start developing new concepts for agriculture. By
2050, 10 billion people are expected to live on our planet, and they’ll all
want to be fed. But new agricultural land is becoming scarce, and more and more
farmers are struggling with water shortages. Indoor farming is therefore an
intelligent solution for reliably and energy-efficiently creating perfect
growing conditions for plants. This will help meet the growing challenges of
food supply and food security.
