Well, the answer to that question is quite simple really! Vertical microgreen farming provides you with all the benefits of vertical farming, such as space efficacy and the ability for these farms to be housed anywhere, but also allows you to grow a crop that is ready to be taken to market within only a week or so from planting.
This time frame from seed to harvest is really what sets microgreens apart as a crop. This short cycle allows for the farms to have consistent cashflow, which is a vital part of any business venture.
Microgreens also respond well to indoor growing methods, allowing for small scale farmers to make the best use of any indoor spaces that they may have. While also providing a excellent secondary crop for commercial farms to stimulate their income generation.
With microgreens being classified as a super food, the demand in the market space is ever increasing as people become more health conscious.
So with all this in mind, its no wonder that the microgreen space is seeing more traction in the commercial agricultural space. And with the increased availability of vertical and hydroponic farming technologies I'm sure we can expect to see even more growth in this sector.
