Indoor farming is a concept in which food can be produced all year round, independent of ecological conditions. Sustainability is at the core of indoor farming. Every year, the Dutch AGF (potato, vegetable and fruit industry) exports millions of tonnes of food to foreign markets. At the same time, the Netherlands imports millions of tonnes of food for its own market and transshipment abroad. All of these transport movements are highly unsustainable. The concept of indoor farming encourages businesses to supply their local markets with food all year round.
For a business to produce year round, everything needs to be streamlined. That means that good hygiene throughout your business – both in the water and in the air – is essential. The natural gas ozone (O₃) offers both and is a highly effective means of purifying your water and treating your air.
There was much scepticism when Agrozone began conducting tests with ozone (O₃) a few years ago. How could ozone possibly contribute to improving quality and reducing failure in crops? We now know that ozone is the best way to purify your water and air, giving you more control over different cultivation systems. We all know that a healthier and more vital crop gives you greater peace of mind and certainty within your business.
Water and/or air purification in your indoor farm are carried out as follows:
What distinguishes ozone from other purification techniques is that ozone enriches the feed water with oxygen molecules. Although testing is still in progress, initial results from Agrozone and WUR (Wageningen University & Research) are promising. In a test greenhouse, they saw that crop yields increased with the use of ozone. It may take several more years before we can say with certainty that ozone increases crop yields, but the interim report is promising.
