Urban Farms Swiss
Agriculture in Lonay, Switzerland
An indoor farming operation based in Lonay, Switzerland, Urban Farms Swiss upholds a commitment to agricultural practices that prioritize quality and health. Due to the increasing demand for fruits and vegetables that do not contain pesticides and other harmful chemicals, Urban Farms Swiss has created a proprietary hydroponic indoor farming process that maximizes space and eliminates the need for chemicals.
Starting with pure, clean water, the system uses vertical shelving to maximize space within a hermetically sealed environment. Farmers control factors such as humidity and temperature with smartphones and software, allowing them to create an environment that optimizes growth. In addition to leafy green vegetables, spinach, and other lettuces, Urban Farms Swiss plans to add strawberries, cantaloupe, broccoli, and other vegetables to the lineup.
Committed to quality control and traceability, Urban Farms Swiss uses blockchain technology to ensure transparency. Once a product is on a retailer’s shelf, consumers can activate a QR code on their devices to access the full history of the product, from production through distribution.
