Cultivation system

A method for cultivating a crop, comprising:

• planting crop units of the crop in a plurality of gutters at a position of a first edge of a predetermined area;
• guiding the plurality of gutters in a first direction which extends from the first edge to a second edge of the predetermined area, wherein the distance between adjacent gutters gradually increases during the guiding such that the number of crop units per square metre decreases from the first edge to the second edge;
• harvesting the crop units at the position of the second edge;
• wherein the method further comprises:
• transplanting at least part of the crop units along a transition from a first zone of the area adjacent to the first edge to a second zone of the area adjacent to the second edge, such that each gutter in the first zone is provided to contain crop units with a first intermediate distance and each gutter in the second zone is provided to contain crop units with a second intermediate distance, wherein the first intermediate distance is considerably smaller than the second intermediate distance and wherein the distance between adjacent gutters in the first zone at the position of the transition is considerably greater than the distance between adjacent gutters in the second zone at the position of the transition.
