Tackling the challenges posed by climate change, dwindling resources and the exponential rise in population numbers puts significant pressure on the global farming industry. Advances in technology and the Internet of Things (IoT) allow farmers to engage in science-based agriculture independent of intuition.
The current epidemic engulfing most countries around the globe has underscored the fragility of our world and shed light on the most pressing issues facing humanity, with food security in the top echelon of priorities. Experts argue that vertical farms are the solution of tomorrow when it comes to ensuring an adequate quantity and quality of produce worldwide. Budapest-based Tungsram is supporting the vision of a world with food security by putting its century-long lighting technology expertise to use and developing a range of vertical farm lightbars tailored to individual needs.
One of the main goals of the Tungsram Agritech team is to serve the international market as well as to help domestic producers with our various agricultural lighting solutions.
As the coronavirus pandemic sweeps through the globe, leaving in its wake fatalities and a shattered world economy, food security is increasingly emerging as one of the key concerns of policy makers and citizens the world over. Tungsram’s mini indoor farm called Growth Cabinet is a means for the Budapest-based international corporation to lend a hand as the global community scrambles to stamp out the epidemic and ease the economic fallout.
Among the various business aspects indoor farmers need to consider, a proper artificial lighting is undoubtedly a key element. While a tailor-made lighting design can be costly, failing to ensure adequate lighting conditions could prove even more expensive. If plants do not receive the right kind and amount of light, that may jeopardize the business itself.
The Tungsram Agritech's first greenhouse solution product videos are now available on our YouTube channel.
Tungsram Agritech’s experts delivered several presentations on the benefits of LED technologies and the related intelligent solutions designed for precision indoor farming at the PREGA Precision Farming and Agricultural IT conference organised recently in Budapest.
Nearly 3,200 exhibitors and 78,000 visitors came to Berlin this year, where the Tungsram Agritech team participated in a Hungarian stand organized by the Agricultural Marketing Center together with domestic small and large producers.
