项目摘要

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是位于多伦多的室内垂直农业公司，它可以建造，出售和支持室内种植的花园和农业模块。将室内垂直水培农业的植物科学与家具的现代设计元素混合在一起。他们获得专利的灌溉和生长系统的可扩展性，并提供了仔细管理生长参数的机会，以生产具有较高产量的特种作物，增强营养含量和较高水平的抗氧化剂。 Just Vertical正在与Seneca的生物科学学院合作，并应用化学技术来开发一系列循证支持的“照明食谱”（室内光强度和频率），与在标准条件下种植的农作物相比，垂直行业可以直接提供给客户的食物的产量和营养含量。 Just Vertical将迅速实施在该项目期间开发的食谱。这些食谱可以提供给现有客户，也可以用作吸引包括商业室内农民在内的新客户的营销工具。 Just Vertical对收获产量和营养含量的提高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，这为全国垂直的新市场提供了新的市场。
