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是一家室内垂直农业公司，位于多伦多，负责建造、销售和支持室内种植花园和农业模块。Just Vertical将室内垂直水培种植的植物科学与家具的现代设计元素融合在一起。他们的专利灌溉和种植系统具有高度的可扩展性，并提供了仔细管理生长参数的机会，以生产出产量更高、营养含量更高和抗氧化剂水平更高的特种作物。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“照明食谱”(室内光照强度和频率)，Just Vertical可以直接向其客户提供，与标准条件下种植的作物相比，这些食谱可以提高他们的食物的产量和营养含量。Just Vertical将快速实施在此项目期间开发的食谱。这些食谱可以提供给现有客户，也可以作为一种营销工具来吸引新客户，包括商业室内农民。Just Vertical在可收获产量和营养含量方面的改进，将为加拿大的大型杂货、分销和机构合作伙伴提供更有价值的产品，为Just Vertical全国打开一个新市场。
