Indoor agriculture company Local Bounti says the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office has issued a patent to the company for its proprietary Stack & Flow Technology.
“This is an amazing accomplishment for our entire organization which has worked tirelessly to design a robust solution, and we are pleased to have received the grant from the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office recognizing our innovations while further extending our intellectual property and competitive lead,” Local Bounti CEO Craig Hurlbert said in a news release.
The company said it deploys its Stack & Flow Technology in four of its six growing facilities. This technology combines vertical and greenhouse-growing technologies, according to the release. The company said plants spend early development in a stacked nursery design, which reduces facility square footage. Once the plants reach the desired maturity, Local Bounti plants them in hydroponic greenhouses.
