Advanced Container Technologies, Inc. Announces GrowPods, Controlled Environment Farms Advanced Container Technologies, Inc. announced that GrowPods – the company's unique Controlled Environment Farms, have the potential to transform the agriculture industry. Controlled Environment Farms (CEF) provide multitudes of benefits, including: Year-Round Growing Cycles - Not dependent on weather, climate, or quality of land, and can provide reliable and consistent year-round crop production. Less Land – Increases production per square foot over traditional methods. Better Quality – Farmers control all aspects of crop growth, including humidity, temperature, light, and nutrients so food is at its best. Fewer Imports - Enjoy out-of-season produce without importing it from other states or countries. Fewer Miles – Food produced nearer the point of consumption reduces transportation times and costs, and lowers the carbon footprint from trucks hauling food across the nation. Fresher Food - Shortening the distance that crops travel means food can be harvested at its peak of freshness and nutritional value. Less Pollution – Growing indoors in a controlled environment reduces or eliminates chemicals and pesticides, dangers of fertilizer run-off, and contaminated water from nearby livestock making its way into crops. Water Efficiency - Enormous water efficiency compared to traditional outdoor farming. GrowPods are Controlled Environment Farms that can grow about an acre of food in a transportable automated system. GrowPods provide farmers, businesses, organizations and individuals the ability to grow ultra-clean food, year-round, virtually anywhere. Anuncio • Aug 23
Advanced Container Technologies, Inc Announces GrowPods Can Help Farmers Expand into New Markets and Grow Profitable Fruits and Vegetables Year-Round Advanced Container Technologies, Inc. announced that GrowPods can help farmers expand into new markets and grow profitable fruits and vegetables year-round. GrowPods are modular hydroponic farms that can be placed virtually anywhere, and can grow the equivalent of one acre of traditional farmland in an automated, controlled, pesticide-free environment. With GrowPods, farmers can expand their operations and grow profitable crops, year-round. According to Entrepreneur 360, the most profitable crops aren't what most farmers are currently growing. Adding a GrowPod or two to a farmer's property allows them to add high-margin specialty crops to their revenue stream. A high-margin crop is something that can grow quickly, has high demand, produces high yields, has multiple uses, can grow year-round, and doesn't take up a lot of space. Not all crops can be grown in a GrowPod, including some of those listed below. However, many high-value crops can be grown quickly and easily. The Entrepreneur 360 report states that some of the most profitable crops are: Arugula - Quick to grow, often ready for harvesting in as little as 40 days. Gourmet Garlic – Usually sells for much more than regular white mushrooms. Saffron - Often said to be the most expensive culinary herb by weight in the world. From seed to harvest is typically eight weeks. Basil - Quick to harvest, usually ready within three 3-4 weeks. Very versatile, used in a wide variety of foods. Cilantro - Ready for harvesting in about 40 to 50 days. Cherry Tomatoes – One of the most expensive sold per pound of any in the tomato family, and one of the most profitable. Ready for harvest in about 45 to 55 days. Gourmet Mushrooms – These sell for considerably more than typical white mushrooms. Harvest time is about 6 to 8 weeks. Microgreens - Harvest very quickly, typically in about two to three weeks after seeding because they are taken out soon after sprouting, rather than waiting for the plant to fully mature. Strawberries – One of the tastiest fruits and fun to grow. Imagine having fresh strawberries in the middle of the winter!. Anuncio • Aug 17

Advanced Container Technologies, Inc. Modular Indoor Farms Now Certified by Independent Engineering Firm Advanced Container Technologies, Inc. announced that GrowPods – portable and scalable modular indoor micro-farms – have been certified by an independent engineering firm. With these stamped structural, engineering, and electrical drawings, owners of GrowPods will be able to get their systems up and running rapidly, and far quicker than uncertified systems that can take months or even years to obtain city and county approvals. GrowPods are automated indoor micro-farms that provide a controlled environment for the cultivation of premium quality vegetables and herbs. GrowPods are manufactured by GP Solutions, and are exclusively distributed by ACTX for use in the cannabis and hemp sectors. According to the National Society of Professional Engineers (NSPE), a Professional Engineer (PE) stamp shows that hold work to the high standards. There are several reasons stamped engineering plans are so important: First, engineer-approved plans expedite the permitting process. Building officials trust plans that structural engineers are willing to stamp. Secondly, stamped plans provide an assurance that structure is safe and it will last. This can not only provide peace of mind, but may also help with insurance underwriting, investor confidence, and banking relationships. When a structural engineer applies their stamp to building plans, the engineer is in effect guaranteeing the performance of that structure. The engineer is on the line for the safety of that building throughout the life of the structure. Accordingly, they will never put their stamp of approval on any structure that is unsafe, subpar, or below standards. Additionally, those businesses that want to add new pods to an existing operation can now do so without fewer obstacles or delays. Anuncio • Jun 25
