Marta has been with Infinite Acres for five years, bringing a background in mechanical engineering to the complexities of indoor farming. By modeling how temperature, humidity, and airflow interact in our grow zones, Marta helps us innovate in a virtual world before we make changes in the real one.
Indoor farming is a very complex process because there are so many factors involved—when the lights produce heat, for example, the crops transpire and raise the humidity. If you change the lights, everything will change. The purpose is to build a model where, if we want to change something in the real farm, we can try it out in the virtual world first. This allows us to try different kinds of recipes and reduce costs. It is an innovation that helps us operate more sustainably and create more fresh food for everyone.
