Have You Ever Considered Turning A Shipping Container Into A Greenhouse?
That is what happened at HAMK University in Finland. The entire project started when our partner and greenhouse-supplier Lucchini was contacted by HAMK University in Lepaa, Finland. They asked Lucchini to assist in building and supplying box container system with the aim of R&D of indoor farming.
Here Lucchini custom-made a BoxXLand container with Senmatic’s LED-fixtures, fertilizer mixer, and climate control to fit the specific needs at HAMK University.
At the university, they are doing trials on lettuce and herbs of all kinds – and so far, they have been very happy with the results from the first production cycle. The box container greenhouse brings several benefits such as being able to grow vegetables in locations, where the climate normally makes it impossible.
