Building-Integrated Agriculture

Vertical farms and hydroponic systems embedded in building architecture.
Building-Integrated Agriculture

Integration of controlled-environment agriculture into building facades, rooftops, and atriums using IoT-controlled hydroponics, aeroponics, and LED grow lighting. These systems produce fresh food on-site, reduce urban heat island effects, improve air quality, and create closed-loop nutrient cycles by utilizing building waste streams and captured rainwater.
