Agricultural land is degrading, population growth is increasing, local cultivation is becoming more and more attractive not only for reasons of environmental protection, but also because of unstable supply chains. Climate change is making food production for vegetable growing more difficult due to a lack of rainfall and extreme weather events.

As a horticultural business, costs must be minimized while still producing high-quality products. With vertical cultivation in an urban environment, PFLANZENTHEKE contributes to all of these things at the same time. It makes it possible to revolutionize agriculture.

By developing hydroponic plants and systems for the efficient, sustainable, decentralized, independent and local production of food for end consumers, organizations, and horticulturists, you save 90% of water and 85% of fertilizer compared to cultivation in soil. This not only makes the agriculture business climate-resilient, but also sets new standards in sustainable vegetable production and enables farming in urban environments.

FLANZENTHEKE offers specially developed, tailor-made, soilless horizontal or vertical cultivation systems for herbs and leafy vegetables. They respond individually to wishes and concerns of vegetable grower. They also accompany them as a sparring partner through the ups and downs of vegetable production. With their data sets and our know-how, PFLANZENTHEKE can develop – for instance - cultivation planning and enable new unique selling points for horticultural business.
