In the next two decades the world will need 70% more food to feed the population. That is something traditional farming simply can’t provide. In addition, farming is facing issues with land and air pollution, shortage of land, not to mention the complications and increasing costs of logistics. Indoor farming is expected to provide 40% of global food production in the next couple of years, replacing traditional farming with more sustainable and efficient methods.

However, only a small percentage of indoor farming companies are profitable, because they spend up to 60% of their revenue on artificial lighting. Cutting energy consumption is the key enabler for making indoor farming profitable and sustainable. At Laava Tech, we have the answer.

Imagine an indoor farm with the lighting, the sensors, the IoT systems, and of course the plants. These systems are placed in the farm independently of each other, they don’t communicate with each other, and most importantly, they do not communicate with the plant itself.

Laava is an entirely new grow light and data management solution based on AI, capable of adjusting the light emitted by each LED lamp of a farm to match the exact needs of each plant.

First, we insert our pre-researched data on the photosynthetic process of each species of plant into the Laava system. Secondly, Laava processes various data from the existing sensors in the farm. Thirdly, the data from the previous two steps is combined and analyzed by our machine learning algorithms.

After that, our Laava tech software creates the perfect light recipe. This recipe is specific to each plant, the stage of the vegetation process, and the ecosystem parameters in the vertical farm at that exact moment. This allows us to decrease energy consumption to the minimum required, while still allowing the ideal conditions for plant growth and even increased yield.

Transitioning from traditional farming to indoor farming massively increases efficiency of food production, but it also raises costs, especially due to high energy requirements. We hold the key to making indoor farming sustainable, both for farmers and to feed the world.

After years of research and development, we have built a solution that offers peak efficiency and yield for our customers: Premifarm growers.

We see smart greenhouses as an integral part of today's environmentally conscious society, enabling people to get excited about biology, advanced energy-efficient agricultural technology, and healthy eating.

We made sure to make every aspect of Premifarm solution easy to use - starting from application and ending with the growing cycle of the plants - so that you can focus on harvesting, rather than on the steep learning curve of a sophisticated system. All the materials we use are organic, sustainable, and environmentally friendly.

Premifarm farms are based on Laava automation, but while Laava offers an industrial solution, Premifarm is designed for a wide range of consumers. Premifarm products enable anyone to grow any plant without any knowledge of the process, while the farms consume a small amount of energy, need no soil, and use only water. There are currently 75 plant species available for Premifarm farms.

Premifarm is ideal for restaurants, educational institutions, offices, and even for use at home. You will always have fresh herbs and greens at hand, with cost lower than in stores, while you will be sure of the quality and freshness of the product. Such production is much more environmentally friendly not only in terms of energy savings, but also the need for shipping and packaging is eliminated. Just imagine how much excess plastic is produced for food packaging and how much is thrown away every day.

Premifarm farms are used in schools: children can observe the process of plant growth and control automatic processes, while learning about biology and sustainable agriculture.

Meliora is a carbon offset marketplace offering you a fast, reliable, and fully transparent way to buy and sell carbon offsets and allowances for your business.
