Why are so many new and legacy cultivators choosing to move away from traditional single-tier cultivation and electing to go multi-tier vertical? In this session, we will explore what it takes to design and operate a thriving vertical farm. By the end of this session, attendees will gain critical insights into optimized cultivation and post-harvest designs and layouts, equipment integration, and maintaining optimal VPD while mitigating micro-climates, lean workflows, capital expenditures, return on investment, and revenue per square foot.
