Potager's Piccolino Basil
In Potager‘s Vertical Farm in Berlin Biesdorf, the herbs are grown according to the principles of vertical farming.
We are a passionate and international team that draws its motivation from the necessity to protect and preserve our Earth's limited resources. In our Berlin production facility, we grow plants year-round to shorten supply chains, reduce food waste, and lower CO2 emissions. Our vertical farm is a fully automated and scalable vertical cultivation system. Light, water, and temperature can be individually adjusted for each plant species, so they grow in reliable quantities and intervals.
Advantages of vertical farming:
- Zero pesticides.
- 100% season-independent production cycle.
- Less waste due to shorter supply chains.
- Fewer food miles due to local cultivation and short transport routes.
- Up to 95% less water consumption compared to open-field cultivation.
