Pod Farms's Vertical Channel System (VCS) is a modular hydroponic solution using Nutrient Film Technique (NFT) technology for efficient vertical production in greenhouse environments. Designed for commercial growers, each plant column can be removed independently for easier harvesting and crop turns. It's easy-to-clean, two-part design reduces labor steps while maximizing production, flexibility, and profitability within limited greenhouse and indoor space. Their product scales up for entire farm upfits, and scales down to classroom or home-use applications.

Join the Co-Founder and CEO of Pod Farms, Inc. to explore how vertical hydroponics can dramatically increase production within a limited footprint, how Pod Farms leveraged the Gig East Accelerator greenhouse to advance its technology, and how partnerships with growers, researchers, and industry experts are driving innovation in controlled environment agriculture.
