Almeria engineering incorporates the technology of the Swedish company Growpipes to offer comprehensive modules for both producers and individuals, which allow efficient use of water, energy and nutrients.
Beyond Seeds takes a new qualitative leap in its commitment to go beyond seeds. Through Agrointec , Almeria engineering has incorporated the technology of the Swedish company Growpipes to make available, both at the scale of producers and individuals, a simple solution to bring vertical agriculture closer to society. It is SAV, Vertical Agriculture Solutions , which consist of integral systems with which it is possible to design, in a modular and scalable way, vertical installations that allow efficient use of water, energy and nutrients.
For more than a year, as a result of the restrictions derived from Covid-19, including the harsh months of confinement, society has become aware of the strategic importance of agriculture and its essential role in the supply of food for the world population. As a result, interest in agriculture has grown exponentially, to the point that the establishment of small gardens on terraces and rooftops has become a trend.
With SAV, Agrointec provides a sustainable and efficient cultivation system to create large vertical farms or small orchards and vertical walls, either outdoors, in the living room of the house or in an office, next to a wall.
Among the characteristics of this comprehensive solution are the versatility of its technology, adaptable to each space need , which allows a simple assembly and assembly, its patented design, efficiency in terms of space and consumption of energy, water and nutrients, the ease of cleaning, leak-free thanks to its closed irrigation circuit, which guarantees that each plant receives its necessary dose of fertigation, capable of growing a cultivation height of up to 6m high and 2m long, with the possibility of joining these modules with each other to obtain greater lengths, according to the consumer's need.
Thanks to another exclusive agreement reached with the Italian company NIDO , Agrointec's integral solution not only includes the Growpipe units but also a completely automated and intelligent hydroponic cultivation and artificial lighting system .
Depending on the available surface and the user's tastes, Agrointec provides these Vertical Agriculture Solutions, which can be located inside a greenhouse, in a container or on a vertical wall of an office or home, among other options, allowing different formats of number of plants and types of cultivation.
Agrointec's team of agronomical and industrial engineers will design the most suitable SAV, optimizing this vertical system, taking into account all technical aspects, as well as the irrigation, nutrition and lighting needs of the crop thanks to NIDO technology. Parameters such as pH, conductivity, light intensity, etc. Depending on the type of crop, they can be controlled in real time by the system through a very complete mobile application.
The company from Almeria is working on the different possibilities of commercialization of its Vertical Agriculture Solution, so that it is available in establishments specialized in gardening, as well as through important internationally recognized marketplaces. In addition to offering a comprehensive service, making these modules available to users under the 'turnkey' format, including plant material, cultivation lamps, intelligent irrigation control technology and agronomic advice.
Agrointec is preparing a pilot project in a research greenhouse at the University of Almería, to mount this technology with the aim of showing the agri-food sector its characteristics and possibilities for its application in vertical farms on a commercial scale, while studying the agronomic needs of the system, from a professional point of view, which will also allow you to test and apply the different technological tools of Beyond Seeds.
