Urban Crops Changes Corporate Name

Urban Crops will change its name to Urban Crop Solutions. The name change highlights the core of the company being a global turnkey solution provider in automated plant growth infrastructure and plant growth recipes, according to the company. In alignment with the adoption of the new name Urban Crop Solutions has also launched a new website: www.urbancropsolutions.com.

Urban Crop Solutions with headquarters in Beveren-Leie, Waregem, Belgium, develops since 2014 tailored plant growth installations. These systems are robotized and able to be integrated in existing production facilities or food processing units. Urban Crop Solutions also has its own range of standard growth container products. Urban Crop Solutions can also supply seeds, substrates and nutrients.

Currently the company has a growing list of more than 180 varieties of crops that can be grown in closed environment vertical farms and that have been validated. These plant recipes (ranging from leafy greens, vegetables, medicinal plants to flowers) are developed specifically for indoor farming applications and sometimes exclusively for clients by its team of plant scientists. Urban Crop Solutions began activities in Miami, Florida, in 2016 and expects to have an own subsidiary in Japan in Q2 2017.
