Intelligent Growth Solutions (UK) and GRAIN International Pte Ltd (Singapore) aim to future-proof agriculture using integrated controlled environment agriculture (CEA) technologies for three (3) verticals - Food, Farmstead (Agro-foresty/Plantations) and Fragrance industry.1. Food: The proposed project focuses on introducing crop species with high protein content as a valuable proposition for CEA farms. CEA technology has been established predominantly for leafy vegetables and fruiting crops, however once completed, this project will broaden applications to include new crop categories for commercial cultivation.2. Farmstead/Farm Forest: agro-forestry and plantations are an important value chain for the global agriculture industry. Agro-forestry and plantation tree species contribute towards soil health, regulate microclimates, enhance carbon sequestration, improve biodiversity and provide a livelihood for the growers. This vertical will exploit the CEA technology and the consortium's capabilities to establish high-value saplings for the industry.3. Fragrance: High-value functional plant species have a bigger role to play in the success of indoor growing. Under the third vertical, the consortium will focus on plant species that have been ranked amongst the most high-value in the world. The project will develop the cultivation/growth recipes using CEA technologies and establish the recipes for commercial cultivation.
