Abstract: Embodiments described herein generally relate to systems and methods for indoor farming. Containers having a lid and a basin can be used to grow plants in stagnant liquid growing medium (e.g., water and nutrients). The lid can contain solid growing medium (e.g., dirt) and seeds and/or plants. The lid can define slots that allow roots of plants to access the liquid growing medium. The containers can be stored in bays of a dense vertical rack system. Each bay can include a gravity feed system. A gantry can be operable to deposit containers into and retrieve containers from bays. Containers can be left in bays for plants to grow with no recirculation or agitation of liquid within the basins and little or no handling.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides compositions, methods, and systems related to vertical farming. In particular, the present disclosure provides compositions, methods, and systems for growing high-density produce in a controlled hydroponic environment that obviates the need for fertilizers, pesticides, fungicides, or high-energy irrigation systems.
