Advanced Container Technologies, Inc. announced that GrowPods – the company's unique Controlled Environment Farms, have the potential to transform the agriculture industry. Controlled Environment Farms (CEF) provide multitudes of benefits, including: Year-Round Growing Cycles - Not dependent on weather, climate, or quality of land, and can provide reliable and consistent year-round crop production. Less Land – Increases production per square foot over traditional methods.

Better Quality – Farmers control all aspects of crop growth, including humidity, temperature, light, and nutrients so food is at its best. Fewer Imports - Enjoy out-of-season produce without importing it from other states or countries. Fewer Miles – Food produced nearer the point of consumption reduces transportation times and costs, and lowers the carbon footprint from trucks hauling food across the nation.

Fresher Food - Shortening the distance that crops travel means food can be harvested at its peak of freshness and nutritional value. Less Pollution – Growing indoors in a controlled environment reduces or eliminates chemicals and pesticides, dangers of fertilizer run-off, and contaminated water from nearby livestock making its way into crops. Water Efficiency - Enormous water efficiency compared to traditional outdoor farming.

GrowPods are Controlled Environment Farms that can grow about an acre of food in a transportable automated system. GrowPods provide farmers, businesses, organizations and individuals the ability to grow ultra-clean food, year-round, virtually anywhere.
