Vertical farms break the limits of crop cultivation and create possibilities for food production everywhere. Vertical farms use LED adjustable lighting and hydroponics systems to narrow the distance between growers and consumers by taking advantage of their own advantages and attracting strategic partners to launch innovative services. For example, international vertical farm startups partner with airlines and convenience stores.

Singapore Airlines has partnered with US vertical farm startup AeroFarms to realize the concept of "farm to plane". From October 2019, AeroFarms began to supply fresh produce to Singapore Airlines. Passengers on flights from New York to Singapore can enjoy vegetables grown at AeroFarms’ Newark farm in the United States.

It is reported that AeroFarms raised $100 million in a series E round of financing in July 2019.

In addition, German company InFarm teamed up with US retailer Kroger to bring modular living to produce farms to US convenience stores. In November 2019, InFarm launched its modular living produce farms in two of its 15 convenience stores in Washington, U.S., using LED lighting and hydroponics technology. Agricultural products are grown on-site at convenience stores, eliminating the need for extended transportation and storage times.

Kroger's partnership with Infarm is a great example of innovation in the grocery industry. Kroger is fully committed to its Zero Hunger and Zero Waste Social Impact Initiative, which aims to end hunger in local communities by 2025 and eliminate waste company-wide.

Likewise, InFarm has raised $100 million in Series B funding and has partnered with 25 food retailers in Europe. led explosion-proof lights https://www.eneltec-led.com/products/led-explosion-proof-lights

It is also worth mentioning that in November 2018, 7-11, the largest convenience store in Japan, announced the establishment of a large-scale plant factory in Tokyo to provide vegetables for the salads and other foods it sells. LED lighting in vertical farms controls the cultivation process by adjusting the color, duration, and positioning of the lights, so food distributors can stabilize the supply of vegetables.
