Grow more with less space.
Halve your grow space or double it within the same square footage with a Montel mobile grow rack system. It’s your grow operation the way you want it.
Grow more with less land. If you can grow at least three times more with the same square footage, you are protecting and consuming less land since you do not need to expand your facilities or build new ones.
Grow more with less water.
Montel’s clients use 95% less water than traditional farms.
Grow more locally. Reduce food waste and food miles. Provide local healthy, fresh, and nutritional food to your community.
Grow more while conserving arable land. Arable land scarcity is the result of a range of human and climatic factors including degradation, climate change, soil constraints, urban encroachment and unequal land distribution.
Compared to traditional agriculture, growing indoors preserves arable land since outdoor row crops use a lot of soil. Rows also need to be wide enough to allow tilling and machine cultivation.
Grow more with no pesticides or herbicides.
Grow high-quality crops consistently 365 days a year without fear of environmental factors like climate change, weather, or the spread of disease.
Grow more with optimized electricity usage. When using a mobile vertical grow rack system instead of static racking, you aren’t lighting empty aisles without crops. Much more energy is consumed than outdoor agriculture. One way to reduce your electricity bills is to equip your indoor farm with solar panels.
