At the beginning of May 2016, we at Las Vegas Greens began erecting our flagship, broad-scale hydroponic greenhouse, which has the capacity to redefine the current global food paradigm. Tom Blount, systems designer and grower, has invested over 10 years perfecting a hydroponic grow system with a unique height and pitch design that exponentially reduces the carbon footprint of any traditional soil-grow or existing hydroponic application.
As an example, North Carolina State University claims that one acre of land is required in a traditional soil-grow to produce 26,000 heads of small lettuce per full harvest; whereas, our application will produce 36,450 heads of lettuce per full harvest. In addition, traditional grows are limited by seasonal conditions which allow for a maximum of 2-3 harvests per year; whereas, we have the ability to grow year-round with 12 harvests per year.
