🌱❄️Ice Plant: Ice beauty in the form of diamond lettuce

Discover the beauty and usefulness of the Ice Plant at Kaly aquaponic farm. A fascinating succulent with medicinal properties that will soon become an exclusive product in the Farmia Food range. Diamond lettuce as a new gastronomic treasure.

The Ice Plant, also known as Ice Sunflower (Mesembryanthemum crystallinum), is native to South Africa and attracts attention with its striking leaves covered with small transparent growths that resemble ice crystals. This plant is not only aesthetically attractive but also demonstrates the ability to survive in dry and harsh conditions. Recently, the Ice Plant has been tested at our Kaly aquaponic farm with the hope of using it effectively in aquaponics.

🕵Features of Ice Plant
Ice Plant is a low, carpet-like plant with thickened fleshy leaves that have characteristic transparent cells filled with water. These cells act as an adaptation to dry conditions, trapping moisture and forming an insulating layer, which helps the plant to limit water loss. The leaves are silvery green, but can take on a purple tinge at low temperatures.

In summer, the plant flowers and produces small, pink or white flowers that attract pollinators. After flowering, small fruits containing seeds form. The Ice Plant can therefore not only be an interesting ornamental plant, but also an abundant source of food for insects.

💡Artificial intelligence will enter on Future Farming farms 🌱🐟

The strategic 🤝 partnership between Future Farming and GrowDirector is leading to a new era in the automation and efficiency of aquaponic farms through advanced artificial intelligence and innovative technologies.

In January 2024, we held commercial negotiations with the Israeli company GrowDirector to improve the automation of Future Farming’s aquaponic production farms. Like us, GrowDirector is united by research and expertise, practical experience and innovation in modern agriculture. The strategic partnership with Grow Director is the result of a two-year tender for a hardware and software supplier to take the automation and efficiency of our aquaponic farms to the next level.
