The plant factory is a closed growth system. It is usually mainly hydroponic culture, but also aggregate culture. The facility manually controls light, temperature, humidity and carbon dioxide concentration, so that growers can produce mass vegetables all year round.
Vertical farming also belong to plant factories.
In 1957, Christensen farm in Denmark is said to be the origin of plant factory.
Advantage
1. Stable supply
It will not be affected by climate change, pathogens and pests, fixed nutrition and stable quality.
High security
Because there are no invasive pathogens and pests, it is not necessary to spray those pesticides for prevention and removal. It can be produced through pesticide free to ensure production. In addition, the bacteria are less, because there is no deposition of soil or analogues, do not wash, or can eat only simple washing, which can also reduce the cost of labor and water. With these, the food service industry is already using them.
2. High speed production
The damage of continuous hydroponics will not be caused. In addition, by controlling light intensity, temperature, humidity and carbon dioxide concentration, we can produce the best environment for plant growth and promote plant growth.
3. Intensive land use
By moving the seedlings according to the size of the moment of the plant, it can be cultured at the maximum density and further set at the stage of multiple shelves arranged diagonally, which can further improve the land use efficiency.
4. In labor welfare
Cultivation techniques can be standardized, and people lacking agricultural knowledge can also work part-time. In addition, because of the simple working environment, there are plant factories in sheltered workshops where the elderly and the disabled can work.
