With artificial intelligence technology, the OnePointOne farm is tended by autonomous robots responsible for inspecting the plants and managing the crops. Bertram told Cronkite News that operators can control environmental factors on a computer up to 2,000 miles away.
“This method paired with full automation capabilities, AI and robots is incredibly reliable and consistent and results in much greater yields compared to other vertical farm technologies, such as hydroponics or aquaponics.” Kevin Fitzsimmons, a professor of environmental science at the University of Arizona Controlled Environment Agriculture Center, said vertical farming could help Arizona’s water outlook.
“You can get fresh produce year round, on things that otherwise would be seasonal, so if you want to look on a macro scale, it’s going to impact imports on fruits and vegetables that we bring in from other countries,” Fitzsimmons said. The Environmental Protection Agency defines organic food as that grown and processed using no synthetic fertilizers or pesticides. Organic food may still use pesticides and herbicides, but the pesticides must be derived from natural sources, such as biological pesticides, and not contribute to the contamination of crops, soil or water. Formaldehyde, for example, is an approved biological pesticide.
