The second project from the company was an automated platform with sliding shelves for growing mushrooms. Christiaens Group - system with pull-out shelves Technically, everything looks quite beautiful: a rack of mushrooms automatically drives up to the second block, where each mushroom is cut and goes on sale. The second block - here the mushrooms arrive for collection. The finished farm comprises several blocks: - The first block - in this room mushrooms are grown and maintained optimal humidity, temperature and light. First, the innovations applied to the camera control system. This time a completely new development was presented, which they plan to supply to the Russian market.Īutomated farm for the cultivation of mushrooms - the developers used digital systems and technologies to maximize simplification of the cultivation of mushrooms. By the way, the firm has been engaged in the cultivation of mushrooms for many decades. In 2019, the Christiaens Group presented a development at an exhibition in the Netherlands - a new-generation mushroom farm. Christiaens Group - new generation of mushroom farms There are also special cameras that monitor the condition of the mushrooms and send information to the owner. For example, inside each mushroom incubator, there are several sensors to control humidity, temperature and CO2 levels. Employees have to cut the harvest themselves and put in new mycelium.īut even such a system is innovative. The only thing that has not yet been automated is the mushroom harvesting process. Such a farm does not grow special mushrooms, but ordinary oyster mushrooms - just a few days and you can collect over 30 kg of finished products. Sawdust, mycelium and climate control are the three ingredients for fast mushroom growth. The company now specializes in the production of glass farms, which look more like aquariums. Reducing the time between the production of the product and its arrival on the consumer’s table is the fundamental task of the project. They plan to use the roofs of residential buildings and other structures for this purpose. Using mini-farms, enthusiasts propose to grow herbs, various vegetables and fruits right within the city limits. Urban agriculture is a new trend in the cultivation of vegetables and crops. The main goal of the project is to show that everyone can grow organic food in a big metropolis. The authors of the project believe that their technology can be a breakthrough in the popularization of “urban agriculture”. The mushrooms receive life-giving moisture and nutrients. In fact, we are talking about special boxes, where they plant mushrooms and maintain optimal climatic conditions. It’s amazing, but the mushrooms grow right under the glass in front of passersby. The pilot project has already been launched in New York City, where you can literally buy fresh mushrooms next to the supermarket. The Brooklyn-based company Smallhold has developed its own concept of a mini-farm, where you can grow mushrooms for sale or for your own use. Here are a few of the most famous startups that already offer ready-made solutions. But there is movement, projects are emerging, and that makes all mushroom growers happy. The field is so complex that not every company can afford such developments. Projects and startups of automated mushroom farms can be counted on the fingers. Some mushrooms do not lend themselves to cultivation under artificial conditions at all. Unfortunately, you can’t just plant a mushroom and grow a huge crop. The problem is that almost all mushrooms are very demanding to care for. In general, the mushroom industry is considered the most promising, because it is mushrooms can act as the main food for the future of humanity.
The business is really profitable, but associated with certain risks. Many large companies around the world are involved in mushroom growing.
