Just Vertical is an indoor, vertical farming company, located in Toronto, that builds, sells, and supports indoor growing gardens and farming modules. Just Vertical blends the plant science of indoor vertical hydroponic farming with the modern design elements of furniture. Their patented irrigation and growing systems are highly scalable and provide the opportunity to carefully manage growth parameters to produce specialty crops with higher yields, enhance nutrient content and higher levels of antioxidants. Just Vertical is collaborating with Seneca's School of Biological Science and Applied Chemistry to develop a series of evidence-backed "lighting recipes" (indoor light intensity and frequency), which Just Vertical can provide directly to its customers to increase the yield and nutrient content of their food compared to crops grown under standard conditions. Just Vertical will implement the recipes developed during this project rapidly. These recipes can be provided to existing customers or used as a marketing tool to attract new customers including commercial indoor farmers. Just Vertical's improvement of harvestable yields and nutrient content, will provide a more valuable product to large grocery, distribution and institutional partners in Canada, opening a new market for Just Vertical nation-wide.

Just Vertical是一家位于多伦多的室内垂直农业公司，负责建造，销售和支持室内种植花园和农业模块。Just Vertical将室内垂直水培的植物科学与家具的现代设计元素相结合。他们的专利灌溉和生长系统具有高度可扩展性，并提供了精心管理生长参数的机会，以生产具有更高产量的特种作物，提高营养含量和更高水平的抗氧化剂。Just Vertical正在与Seneca的生物科学和应用化学学院合作，开发一系列有证据支持的“照明配方”（室内光强度和频率），Just Vertical可以直接提供给客户，与标准条件下种植的作物相比，提高他们食物的产量和营养成分。Just Vertical将快速实施在此项目期间开发的配方。这些食谱可以提供给现有客户或用作营销工具，以吸引新客户，包括商业室内农民。Just Vertical对可收获产量和营养成分的改进，将为加拿大的大型杂货店、分销商和机构合作伙伴提供更有价值的产品，为Just Vertical在全国范围内开辟一个新市场。
