Vertical farming in a closed and controlled environment also poses certain challenges when it comes to climate control and fertigation. In recent years, Ridder and a number of other pioneers have gained knowledge and experience in this relatively young, fast-growing and innovative sector. This has led to the development of a number of practical technical solutions that will enable the vertical farming sector to optimize and achieve sustainable growth.
Horticulture and water are inseparable. But just as no plant can do without water for a day, no grower can do without the automated systems that adjust the amount of water and fertilizers applied in perfect proportion to the needs of the crop.
Maximum control over climate and energy consumption in a completely closed environment, balanced fertilization strategies, water-saving recirculation technologies and full insight into your production and work processes. Ridder provides an integrated solution that enables you to coordinate all the equipment and processes involved in indoor cultivation or vertical farming, so that all systems work together seamlessly.
Vertical farming in a completely closed crop environment has emerged as a direct consequence of global population growth. Increasing urbanization means that demand for local food production is growing in urban areas. Vertical and multi-layer growing in fully controlled environments is one solution. It enables growers to grow fresh produce at any location, all year round. It also requires relatively little space and reduces the grower’s dependence on increasingly scarce farmland or the influence of local weather conditions.
Our account managers understand these challenges and will work with you to find the right solution for your needs. Feel free to contact us for advice without obligation.
As an international family business, part of Ridder’s everyday work for the past 65 years has been developing solutions that can enable horticultural businesses and their suppliers make their companies and projects as successful as possible. Together with our global network of partners, we provide complete system solutions to create the ideal growing environment – from mechanical systems to digital services. In designing these products, we draw on all the knowledge and experience that we have acquired in the past. But above all else, we are a future-facing company, and we have a vision for the autonomous greenhouse of the future. That means moving towards a fully automated and intelligent growing environment.
