The future is green. The future is uncertain. If the population keeps growing at the same rate as now, we will meet a food shortage in the future. It isn’t enough space to grow the food. To overcome this the growing are now moving indoor and up.
Vertical farming, the growing of food upwards and by that be growing more on less space, have been gaining a lot of popularity the last years as a solution to this problem. But what is the problems within this fast-growing business. Is there a way to make this green future to a more certain one.
The goal with SEMIRAMIS is to make it easier to take the technology and vison of vertical farming and making it a reality. To make the vertical future to a vertical now by making it an easy to work with workplace both for the machines, humans and the plants.
