From climate to internal logistics, our solutions make fully autonomous growing the new standard. Our custom-made indoor growing environments and robotics solutions prove it is possible time and time again. In the Certhon Innovation Centre, we have been researching the best ways of using indoor growing for more than 10 years. For every climate and with guaranteed yield. Take our project in the Abu Dhabi desert for instance: the world’s most advanced indoor farm. While it is 50 degrees outside, inside the most beautiful tomatoes are cultivated deploying the most sustainable methods, for local top chefs, all year round. High and predictable yields of the best quality. In all seasons and anywhere in the world. Indoor farming is the answer to the challenging food transitions that have been triggered by a growing global population. When you tackle this in the right way, you not only create shorter value chains that deliver a fresher product, achieve greater efficiency in terms of space utilisation and crop yields and eliminate CO2 emissions, you can also grow: climate-independently: all year round and anywhere in the world with ultimate control: exactly the yield you want more sustainably: all electric and 90% less water usage healthier produce: increased nutrients or medicinal qualities with ultimate hygiene: free of pesticides and insects. grow autonomously: making cultivation available to everyone and generate a greater harvest: high yields per square metre, with excellent quality and flavour Unique concepts The more complex the project, the greater the impact our solutions have. Our cultivation systems take large-scale daylight-free and autonomous growing to the highest level: Gronos for Tomatoes A unique cultivation method for indoor tomato production that is highly profitable. A revolutionary concept for indoor lettuce cultivation For the propagation and production of lettuce, we’ve developed a unique indoor system in which the various cultivation layers on top of each other form an integrated installation construction with LED lighting. Guaranteed results thanks to our own research centre Our own indoor research centre is one of the world's largest. We know exactly what plants need, and develop optimal recipes, allowing you to grow the best results. “The collaboration with Certhon has helped us to realize our ambitions.
