"The technology can also allow crops to grow in locations where conventional farming is not possible," the BBC reported. "Food can be grown near to cities. Shorter supply chains could improve both food security and the quality of food, since the faster food reaches us, the less its nutrients deteriorate and the less unseen toxins develop."

Douglas Heldoorn, CEO of ACTX, takes a pragmatic view of the rapidly growing industry.

"As I've often said, we are in the right market, with the right products, at the right time," he said. "We look forward to the future and the many business opportunities that this market will provide."

GrowPods are designed and manufactured in America, and can be configured to grow the finest quality hemp, vegetables, and leafy greens.
