Certhon pioneers the horticultural revolution with innovative greenhouse solutions, emphasizing sustainability. Their designs incorporate advanced irrigation and climate control with sustainable energy, significantly reducing water usage and carbon footprints. This enables year-round food production in diverse conditions, yielding higher outputs for a consistent supply of local produce. Having their mission: growing anything, anywhere. For everyone.
Certhon's commitment aligns with UN SDG6 notably clean water, SDG13 climate action, and SDG12 responsible consumption and production. Their greenhouse solutions promote resource efficiency and operational excellence, supporting a sustainable future and spearheading positive change through collaboration with many local stakeholders.
Taking a specific case of a project in the UAE, Certhon's greenhouse achieved a minimum 15% higher yearly yield compared to traditional high-tech setups. Where extreme climates would usually hinder cultivation, this greenhouse produces over 500 tons of tomatoes annually, with minimal resource usage in arid desert environments. This local production significantly reduces food miles, enables work opportunities, impacts horticulture education, stimulates economic growth, and serves fresh, healthy vegetables to the local community.
Certhon's greenhouse outperforms traditional setups, achieving up to 5x times the yearly yield compared to low-tech seasonal production. While simultaneously reducing water consumption by up to 90%. This success is exemplified in the UAE, where sustainable practices enable consistent production, even in extreme climates. Through their solution, the client empowers local availability of high-quality produce year-round, setting a benchmark for resource-efficient agriculture, and shows that through innovation a lot is possible.
