Under terms of the agreement, Biodynamics will construct a 254,528 sq. ft. PV solar glass hydroponic vegetable greenhouse for GH Farms Group, with construction expected to start in the third quarter of 2018. The project, incorporating Biodynamics' industry-leading fully automated off-grid greenhouse technology, will cultivate vegetables hydroponically using Biodynamics' proprietary controlled environment agriculture (CEA) growing systems and techniques.
"We welcome this opportunity to show that our greenhouses are the market's best – climate-controlled by a positive pressure HVAC system with water and nutrients managed by an IBM Watson AI computer-automated irrigation system," noted Trisha Madden, CEO of Biodynamics.
"We are very pleased to be moving forward with the vegetable-growing sector of our operations," said Greengro Technologies CEO James Haas. "Our indoor growing technologies have enormous potential across many types of agriculture applications and we expect to become a major competitor in the space."
Haas noted that Biodynamics' unique PV solar glass hydroponic greenhouses are an environmentally beneficial and economically lucrative alternative to traditional farming methods that are stressful to the environment and present growers with significant operational and economic challenges.
GRR is a startup specializing in sustainable technologies and renewable energy. After securing the land for the greenhouse project from the City of Warren, GRR management is currently working on completing the project's capital raise, expected to be closed by the end of second quarter of 2018.
In other news, Greengro has completed all project planning for the Foodraiser Project in Columbus, Ohio as contracted, and is currently waiting for Foodraiser management to respond with a timeline for the completion of land acquisition and financing.
According to a 2016 report published by Markets and Markets Research, the indoor farming market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 24.8% from 2016 and reach USD $5.80 billion by 2022. Based on detailed analysis of all factors impacting the vertical farming market, expected growth will reach the highest CAGR between 2016 and 2022.
