Oppy enters vertical farming with partnership

In an industry grappling with many challenges, from climate change impacting crops, labor shortages and rising fuel costs effecting food prices, to food-safety concerns, traditional methods of farming are proving to be more challenging every day. That's why the team at UP Vertical Farms has spent the last several years researching and developing the latest technology to grow crops at 350 times the yield of conventional farming, while employing the most advanced, high density growing solution with minimal impact on the environment.

 
"Vertical farming is the future of agriculture and we're excited to take it to the next level to bring better tasting and longer lasting greens to consumers everywhere by next year," said Bahram Rashti, co-founder of UP Vertical Farms. "Our fully automated system will revolutionize the industry by allowing for much higher yields, quicker production and better quality control to produce locally grown greens in the most sustainable way."

"We are excited to be entering the vertical farming space and bring fresh innovative options to our retail partners," said Executive Director of Greenhouse and Canadian Category Development Aaron Quon. "Bahram and Shahram Rashti are committed to bringing the freshest, most advanced and sustainable technology to controlled environment agriculture. We're thrilled to partner with them."
