We are setting up a small-scale vertical farm in this room as part of the GreeNTrans project at the University of Helsinki. The space will be equipped with the FlaxFarm hydroponic growth system by Vegger. FlaxFarm is an advanced, optimized hydroponic system featuring the Philips GrowWise Control System, which offers precise color control and dimming to ensure optimal energy efficiency and superior crop quality.

Stay tuned—results coming soon!
