Intro

In Virle Piemonte (TO), a previously unused space has been transformed into a high-tech production facility thanks to the vision of a local entrepreneur. The new indoor aeroponic system by Agricooltur® represents a concrete model of how sustainability and innovation can generate real value for the territory and the agri-food sector.

requirement

The goal was to regenerate an unused environment with a productive and sustainable focus, leveraging advanced technologies to meet the growing demand for quality vegetables in the large-scale retail and Ho.Re.Ca. sectors. The entrepreneur was looking for an automated, scalable solution capable of ensuring high yields and production continuity.

Agricooltur has implemented a complete and highly automated indoor aeroponic system, equipped with:

• Two vertical cultivation lines on three levels, optimized for intensive growth;
• Three five-story germinators to ensure continuity in the crop cycle;
• Annual production capacity: over 90,000 plants, destined for the large-scale retail and Ho.Re.Ca. markets;
• Targeted misting system that provides the roots with the correct supply of water and nutrients, without waste;
• Management software with a touch interface, allowing for real-time monitoring, adjustment, and optimization of environmental and production parameters.
