Advanced Agricultural Innovation Coming to Cobleskill
December 17, 2024 - 12:20
Dec. 16—A groundbreaking initiative to establish a cutting-edge circular "GigaFarm" in Cobleskill has been unveiled, promising to revolutionize local food production. Empire State Greenhouses LLC, in collaboration with vertical farming technology provider Intelligent Growth Solutions, is spearheading this project. The innovative facility will be strategically located adjacent to SUNY Cobleskill, a recognized leader in agricultural education.
This new GigaFarm aims to enhance sustainable farming practices by utilizing advanced technologies that optimize space and resources. The facility is expected to employ vertical farming techniques, allowing for the cultivation of a diverse range of crops in a controlled environment. This method not only maximizes yield but also minimizes the environmental footprint associated with traditional farming.
The partnership with SUNY Cobleskill is particularly significant, as it will provide students with hands-on experience in modern agricultural technologies. As the demand for locally sourced food continues to grow, this initiative is poised to position Cobleskill as a hub for agricultural innovation and sustainability.
