Dürr, a mechanical and plant engineering company, is expanding into the agricultural sector with its EcoY turnkey vertical farm, developed in collaboration with Clean Air Nurseries Agri Global (CAN-Agri). This innovative farming solution prioritizes sustainability by using natural sunlight and consuming up to 95% less water than traditional methods. EcoY aims to address challenges posed by a growing global population and climate change, allowing high-yield cultivation of crops like lettuce in urban areas where conventional agriculture is often unfeasible.
