SUNfarming Food & Energy „5 in 1“

1. Energy Production

The sustainable energy produced by photovoltaic generators can be used for powering the components of the Food & Energy systems as well as supplying the local communities with power.

2. Food production

Vegetables, fruits and flowers can be produced in environments where crops are protected from extreme conditions of wind, rain, hail or sun.
SF quality controlled sales to retailers and SF shops.
