Silva Concept - Sustainable Innovative Local Vertical Agriculture
… take advantage of technology!
Silva Concept - Sustainable Innovative Local Vertical Agriculture aims to identify and highlight the sustainable, innovative and technical components that should be taken when building and maintained a Soft Farming. Building a Soft Farming, particularly in urban spaces, requires skills and knowledge quite different from those required by traditional agriculture, going from the choice of platform for cultivation, requirements for automatic and precise irrigation and nutrition, the choice of the best suitable substrate, the drainage of the any rainfall water excess, and so on. If well-constructed and sized a Soft Farming will be very simple and easy to maintain while being productive and economically viable.

Soft Farming - Strawberries Vertical Production
… a sweet temptation!!!
Strawberries are an excellent culture to a Soft Farming, the reasons are numerous: the plant requires little space to grow and adapts well to confined spaces, its flavor and color are irresistible, the production is maximized when the contact of the fruits with the ground is avoided, its freshness is hard to keep since after maturation the fruits deteriorate quickly, and it is a plant that allows a very appealing aesthetic effect.
Produce them successfully requires some care in terms of the location of your Soft Farming, which ideally should be oriented to the south and placed in little windy environment (but well-ventilated); nutrition should be rich, especially in potassium, so that the strawberries acquire the sweet flavor that is much appreciated.
Cultivate strawberries can have also medicinal effects – is good for the soul.
