NetworkNewsBreaks – Advanced Container Technolog
Post# of 527
Advanced Container Technologies (OTC: ACTX) today announced that its GrowPods — innovative modular hydroponic farms — can give grocers the ability to grow and sell ultra-clean and fresh strawberries and leafy lettuce, kale and micro-greens from a self-contained unit that can be located as nearby as the store’s parking lot. The announcement includes examples of grocers “taking farm-to-table to a whole new level,” including, according to Progressive Grocer, Kroger Company (NYSE: KR) providing customers with hydroponic produce right at the point of purchase. “Our modular hydroponic farms not only produce ultra-clean, vine-ripened strawberries and leafy greens, but also provide other sustainability benefits such as cutting freight emissions, lowering water usage and prolonging shelf life,” said Doug Heldoorn, CEO of Advanced Container Technologies. “Additionally, that experience of going into a grocer and essentially buying right off the vine is compelling from a customer experience standpoint.”
