Israeli agtech company Vertical Field Ltd. has signed an agreement with Rami Levy, Israel’s largest supermarket chain, to install its ‘vertical farms’ at dozens of locations. The agreement, which is estimated to be valued at millions of dollars, will last five years and help the chain sell lettuce and other fresh produce on a vertical wall built with geoponic (soil-based) container technology. “One of the realizations that have surfaced during the Covid-19 crisis is the need to develop solutions that allow urban residents access to healthy food, with minimal human handling and without depending on transportation and shipping from remote locations,” said Guy Elitzur, CEO of Vertical Field. “The portable urban farm that we have developed is designed to be located in indoor and outdoor spaces at supermarkets, restaurants, shopping malls, rooftops, and other on-premise locations.”
