The High Density Vertical Growth (HDVG) system produced by Valcent is providing a possible solution to the rapidly increasing cost of food caused by the spiraling cost of oil.

The system developed demonstrates the following characteristics:

• Produces approximately 20 times the normal production volume for field crops.
• Requires 5% of the normal water requirements of field crops
• Can be built on non arable lands and close to major cities.
• Does not use herbicides or pesticides
• Will have significant operationg and capital cost savings overfield agriculture
• Will drastically reduce transportation costs to market resulting in further savings, higher quality and fresher foods.
• Will be easily scalable from small to large food production situations.
