Environmental benefits

• There is almost no fuel costs related to cultivating and harvesting green feed in our GreenFeed™ Growing Systems grow rooms. The only fuel cost that may be incurred is that to transport the feed from the grow room to the animals.
• The GreenFeed™ Growing Systems grow room reduces fuel consumption and therefore reduces the carbon footprint of the farm.
• The GreenFeed™ Growing Systems vertical growing process allows the production of large volumes of fresh green feed on a fraction of the area required by conventional cultivation.
• There is no need for constant weed removal, fencing, additional council rates or road maintenance.
• The occurrence of respiratory problems in both labourers and animals is virtually non-existent, because the GreenFeed™ Growing Systems grow room is dust-free.
• There is no damage from insects or free-roaming animals. 
• Any water source can be used in the system, after our cleaning process is applied, which includes filtration, purification and sterilisation. The water can be applied and re-applied continuously.
• The GreenFeed™ Growing Systems ensures minimal water consumption and the little run-off irrigation water can be re-used in the grow room or used for animal consumption.
• 1 kg of green feed only requires 2 to 3 litres of water during its eight-day growth cycle. Conventional growing of green feed requires around 80 litres to produce the same quantity of green feed.
