GreatIT and Università Cattolica del Sacro Cuore – Piacenza, Italy

We are excited to announce the launch of a project at a prestigious university, where we have transformed two 40-foot containers into highly specialized controlled environments for agricultural research.

Project Details

• Two 40-foot containers converted into four independent climate-controlled chambers, each with a separate entrance.
• Specialized Environments: Each chamber has been designed to meet specific research requirements and is equipped with an advanced software system for independent control.

Research Areas 🌱

1. Agronomy: Advanced crop research.
2. Plant Pathology: Research into plant disease resistance.
3. Entomology: Optimization of insect rearing cycles for the bioconversion of agricultural and agro-industrial waste, supporting circular economy applications.

Why Containers?

Using containers has allowed us to make use of underutilized spaces while avoiding the complexities of adapting existing buildings, providing fast and efficient solutions tailored to specific research needs.

We will continue to push the boundaries of what is possible in vertical farming, delivering solutions that meet the current and future needs of our academic and commercial partners.
