What Industry NeedsWhat Industry Needs
Near-term requirements:• Cutting costs to remain competitive for the next 5
years• Biggest costs–harvesting!
Longer-term considerations:• Stop thinking in square metres; start thinking in
cubic metres• Cost savings up to 3.5x • The future is 3D greenhousing!
Return-on-investment horizon: Less than 3 years
