Abstract
There is provided an integrated farming system comprising a primary hydroponic component for growing plants; a plurality of point-of-use hydroponic components to maintain optimum nutrient density of the plants wherein the point-of-use hydroponic components are in proximity to the primary component; and a monitoring device configured to determine the measurement of at least one monitored parameter of the plants in the point-of-use hydroponic components and communicate the measurement of at least one monitored parameter to the primary hydroponic component.
Claims9
An integrated farming system comprising:
- a) a primary hydroponic component for growing plants;
- b) a plurality of point-of-use hydroponic components to maintain optimum nutrient density of the plants wherein the point-of-use hydroponic components are in physical proximity to the primary component;
- and
- c) a monitoring device configured to measure at least one parameter of the plants in the point-of-use hydroponic components and communicate the at least one parameter to the primary hydroponic component.
A method of growing and distributing plants, the method comprising:
- a) growing a plurality of plants in a primary hydroponic component;
- b) transferring the plants from the primary hydroponic component to at least one of a plurality of point-of-use hydroponic components to maintain optimum nutrient density of the plants and wherein the point-of-use hydroponic components are in proximity to the primary component;
- c) monitoring at least one parameter of the plants in the point-of-use hydroponic component;
- and communicating the at least one parameter to the primary hydroponic component;
- and
- d) adjusting the plants in the point-of-use hydroponic components in response to the at least one monitored parameter.
