Scaling Smart: The future of vertical farming

10 April 2025

Together with HT Verboom Transportsystemen & Green Smimplicity we are developing a vertical farm in Belgium. This advanced greenhouse construction offers a cultivation area of nearly 1,100 m² within a space of 380 m². Vertical farming is essential for increasing yield per square meter and contributes to sustainability and future-proofing. Want to know more about vertical farming?

 

 

 

Scaling Smart in Vertical Farming: The Key to Success

Why Smart Scaling is Crucial in Vertical Farming

In the world of vertical farming, it is wiser to scale up gradually rather than starting big. Many companies try to develop everything themselves, leading to unnecessary complications and costs. Green Simplicity, a Dutch company specializing in indoor farming, takes a different approach: leveraging proven technologies and optimizing them. This strategy makes their cultivation systems more efficient, sustainable, and scalable.

Flexible and Scalable Solutions for Indoor Farming

Green Simplicity offers ready-to-use solutions for vertical farming, integrating lighting, irrigation, and climate control systems. A recent project in Belgium features a 1,030-square-meter vertical farm, built within a greenhouse structure with a sandwich roof. This innovative construction is cost-effective, easy to build, and allows for seamless future expansion.

Efficient Cultivation Through Integrated Systems
One major advantage of this facility is the ability to cultivate multiple crops side by side without sacrificing efficiency. By regulating evaporation at the bench level, crops with different humidity needs can thrive in the same space. This eliminates the need for separate cultivation environments and enhances productivity within the indoor farm.

Lessons from Failures: Avoiding Unnecessary Complexity

Many vertical farms fail because they attempt to build their systems from scratch, resulting in high costs and inefficiency. Green Simplicity takes a different approach by offering complete, ready-made systems that integrate all essential aspects of indoor farming. This saves time, reduces costs, and ensures a stable and profitable growing environment.

The Future of High-Tech Cultivation: Scaling Smart for Success

In the rapidly growing vertical farming sector, strategic and efficient scaling is essential. Green Simplicity demonstrates that a flexible, integrated approach is the key to successful and sustainable indoor cultivation. By leveraging existing technologies and avoiding unnecessary complexity, growers can focus entirely on optimizing crop production.
