UK vertical farm fast-tracking new LED modules

LettUs Grow, a five-year-old aquaponics grower and systems provider in Bristol, England, is expediting the construction of two new indoor areas on its urban farm in order to grow greens for a local food charity.

LettUs Grow uses LED lights and its own software called Ostara to monitor and control indoor growing. The aquaponic system props up the plants through a cloth under which the roots dangle in a mist that delivers nutrients. The LettUs Grow system can also utilize natural sunlight.
