Advances in design are constantly being worked on and we urge you to continue to monitor our efforts.  Urbaform and Urbafresh are emerging as leaders in the Vertical Farming markets.  Our production is Safe, Fresh and Consistent ... Safe (HACCP), Fresh (locally produced) and Consistent (24/7/365)   The following are glimpses of our current technology offerings for urban food production...



Roof Top Farms

With our partner FarmRoof, Urbaform introduces popup farms on a roof.  This new design paradigm allows for a fully engineered and installed rooftop food production system on your existing building.  Hybrid designs are available that will blend other technologies to maximize the production potential of the space.  See our section Roof Top Farms.







ZipGrow Vertical Growing systems

ZipGrow Spring units and discussion on light as a resource ... see the updated ZipGrow page ...

The ZipGrow vertical growing systems by Bright Agrotech is an innovative new true vertical production system.  The unique system promises to deliver the optimum production capacity per square unit of floor space.

ZipGrow towers can be installed in greenhouses or indoors to produce configurations based on the type of crops being grown.  Watch for some new configurations that will be designed for individual and home use.

For commercial aquaponic producers, there is not a more efficient or productive way to grow crops than in ZipGrow tower systems. Most aquaponic producers utilize rafts for production, but rafts are not productive enough per square foot to make production in greenhouses economically feasible. 
ZipGrow towers typically produce 3-4 times more per square foot than traditional raft production methods. This is due to the light conservation aspects of the tower design as well as the modular aspects of the tower design that can utilize conveyor production techniques to maximize crop yield.
