Sustainable lettuce with Farmitank: higher yields, less resource consumption and reduced environmental impact

Batavia, Trocadero, oak leaf, lollo, romaine, crispy, little gem... Do you know the different lettuce varieties? Each and every one of these varieties have been tested and validated under our technology, with excellent productive results, obtaining annual yields of over 100kg/m2 per year in some of these varieties, thanks to our double transplanting system.

A low-calorie food, rich in water, antioxidants, fibre, vitamins and mineral salts. It is also diuretic and depurative, favours digestion and is considered a natural relaxant, so it can help to fall asleep and calm stress. It is a staple food in the Mediterranean diet and can be consumed all year round.

In the framework of the LIFE Farmitank project, a comparative life cycle analysis has been carried out between lettuce production in Farmitank and lettuce produced in soil using conventional agricultural methods. The results show that oak leaf lettuce grown in Farmitank has a 13% reduction in emissions compared to oak leaf lettuce grown in soil indoors in a greenhouse.

This is mainly due to 95% savings in water consumption, local production and the absence of pesticides, herbicides, fuels and manure, among other factors.

At the same time that we take care of our health, we take care of our environment.
