Thailand and Sweden are advancing urban agriculture with innovative vertical farming technologies. In Thailand, DiStar Fresh is pioneering a hyper-local farming model, addressing the challenges posed by the tropical climate.

By utilizing advanced environmental controls, their indoor farms carefully regulate factors like temperature, humidity, and light to optimize plant growth. The construction of vertical farms with heat-insulating walls helps reduce energy use. Additionally, their operations conserve 99% of the water compared to conventional farming, while eliminating the need for washing the produce, further enhancing sustainability.
