Nhale Inc. announced it is making strides towards producing a prototype for its closed modular cultivation system. Growpod, Nhale's advanced grow technology, is based on the concept of ‘controlled environment agriculture' (CEA). An integrated science, CEA is a combination of engineering, plant science and computer-managed facility control to optimize plant development, plant quality and production efficiency.

Nhale is currently in talks with lighting and design experts as it evaluates technology that will make the cultivation process more efficient and affordable for experienced growers as well as first-time cultivators. Closed modular cultivation systems such as the one being developed by Nhale allow growers to generate high density facilities that will accelerate access to a healthy and secure supply of affordable, high quality product -- and do it more efficiently and economically than traditional grow operations.
