Plant planting parameters have been continuously improved, intelligent control technology has become more mature, LED plant light technology has been continuously improved, and the construction conditions of plant factories have gradually improved. So what kind of place is more suitable for plant factories to be built?
If it is built in the countryside, it will undoubtedly increase the transportation management cost, because the construction of the plant factory is said to solve the problem of human green and safe diet. In essence, it is mainly supplied to the urban population. The transportation costs from rural to urban are bound to be significant. rise.
Therefore, in theory, the site selection for plant factory construction must meet the following conditions:
(1) Shorten the transportation distance as much as possible. On the one hand, it saves transportation costs while increasing the degree of automation. On the other hand, it ensures the quality of fresh crops;
(2) The target of crop supply, the surrounding population is relatively concentrated, and the demand for crops is large;
(3) Peripheral consumption level. In the short term, the cost of plant factory construction and accessory equipment (LED plant lights, temperature control equipment, ventilation equipment...) will not drop significantly, and the price of output crops will naturally not be very low. Require pre-consumers to have certain spending power;
(4) Environmental factors, build plant factories in places with less greenery to assist in controlling environmental degradation and purifying the air.
(5) The construction site is planned in advance, which is conducive to the complementation of crops between plants in the later period. A plant factory cannot replace the earth and can propagate all plants.
The world’s population continues to rise, but the area of arable land is declining year by year. According to the current situation of our country, the rural population is decreasing year by year, and the urban residents are rising linearly, causing the supply of green crops to fall short of demand, all kinds of prices are rising rapidly, and the urban environment is getting worse and worse. The rise of plant factories may alleviate or improve some of these many problems.
