Controlled environments urban farming and high-technology plant conservation
This program will take advantage of electronics, sensors, and automation in a facility
aimed at the promotion of controlled environments urban farming, and high-technology plant conservation in controlled environments.
The facility will integrate the concepts of vertical farming, resource-efficient farming, and engineered microclimates. It is envisioned to be composed of outdoor greenhouses with one big structure serving as the main building. The main structure will house a living laboratory - a museum of sorts where visitors can see the various technologies; and a produce store where visitors can buy fresh vegetables grown onsite.

Technology 🤝 Farming
More than showing efficiency in food production the program aims to remove the visual of farming as a labor-intensive,
backbreaking type of work.
SPICE showcases all available technologies to provide food crops that are organic, easier to grow, use less water and energy, and grow faster and healthier.
