HIMALAYA TECHNOLOGIES LAUNCHES INFOOD TECHNOLOGIES TO FEED THE WORLD WITH VERTICAL FARMING - Seite 2

“With Aquaponic Systems in nearly 40 countries and over 800 schools and universities, we’ve observed that students with aquaponic systems in the classroom thrive in a hands-on learning environment as they are inspired to better understand the science behind the technology. Aquaponics has spurred interest among students in biology, business, wellness and agriculture and has been the impetus for students to plan a career in aquaponic farming or related subjects and technologies. The monitoring and care of an aquaponic system by students helps instill a sense of responsibility, inspires creativity and creates excitement in the learning environment.”

The world’s environmental landscape is ever changing. Land and natural resources are quickly becoming depleted. Agriculture and food sources are facing extreme challenges and uncertainty. Vertical Farming helps provide real solutions to these growing problems. By growing in an enclosed environment, Vertical Farming will help provide a food source for people living in situations where food is hard to access or where farmland is scarce. With the world’s population increasing, we are faced with the challenge of providing more food, quicker, and with fewer resources to grow it.

Out of this need, Himalaya has partnered with Vertical Crop Consultants, Inc. (“VCC”), provider of the “Cropbox” to offer indoor agriculture solutions including shipping container based farms. Cropbox is a turnkey agriculture system that grows up to an acre of crops within a shipping container without the worries of weather or pests. The Cropbox was brought to life by Tripp Williamson while managing Williamson Greenhouses, a company his father started over 35 years ago. After years of success in the greenhouse industry and seeing the ever growing demand for vertical farming systems all over the world, Tripp saw the need to start VCC and continue to cultivate the future of food.

Said VCC’s CEO Tripp Williamson: “Like farmers who pour everything they have into the land to provide food for others, we will also pour everything into developing the most innovative and high yielding food production solutions possible. We know our customers and future farmers care about more than just themselves. They want to be a part of something greater, taking care of our planet and one another. Cultivating a family and community of like-minded people by putting nutritious food into the hands of those who need it most is the mission of Vertical Crop Consultants. Let’s get growing together!”
