The future of agriculture isn’t just about growing more—it’s about growing smarter. 🌱💡

At Intravision, we’re blending science, technology, and sustainability to rethink how food and medicinal plants are produced.

Intravision: Rethinking Agriculture for a Resource-Limited World
From space research to global food solutions, our journey is rooted in science, innovation, and the belief that we can build a more sustainable future.

In controlled environments like Intravision’s, elevated CO₂ can boost growth while avoiding the heat, drought, and nutrient stress that erase those benefits in open fields.

The challenge isn’t to dismiss CO₂ effects, but to harness them responsibly.
Trump’s Department of Energy misleadingly suggests that higher CO2 levels are beneficial for agriculture. Top scientists – and decades of research – say that’s wrong.

The reality: Extreme weather caused by rising CO2 damages harvests and could drive up food prices worldwide.
Fact-checking a Trump administration claim about climate change and crops » Yale Climate Connections
A recent Department of Energy report falsely states that rising carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere will boost agricultural yields. In fact, climate change is much more likely to make food scarcer and more expensive.

Wheat under artificial light — a symbol of adaptation. 🌾
At @intravision.ca research like this helps regions facing drought and heat grow staple crops in controlled environments.
From the desert to the Arctic, food security begins with photosynthesis made predictable.

Plants carry more than flavour — they hold chemistry tied to human health. In controlled environments, we study how light, spectrum, and stress shape that potential. Healing, one photon at a time.

The same science designed to sustain astronauts—closed-loop systems recycling air, water, and nutrients—is reshaping how we grow food on Earth.
What we learn from space keeps us alive down here.

With solar now being the world’s cheapest energy source, controlled-environment farming has a stronger foundation. Lower power costs = more accessible, resilient, scalable CEA systems. The math is shifting in favor of clean farms.

Solar power named the world’s cheapest energy source
Solar energy is now so cheap it costs as little as €0.023 to produce one unit of power, a new study has found.

Breaking the greenhouse divide isn’t just rhetoric—it’s necessity. Integrating horticulture, ag, tech, and systems thinking unlocks new efficiencies and resilience. The future of food demands we converge, not fragment.

AgTech isn’t just about tech—it’s about talent. The Bahamas’ new AgTech Pilot Cohort is proof that investing in people builds resilient food systems. Great to see nations training a generation ready to feed a changing planet.

Food security isn’t about luxury crops — it’s about resilience. Vertical farming must be seen as climate infrastructure: securing food & medicines with radical efficiency.

Across Europe, governments are backing CEA and greenhouse farming with funding and policy—lowering barriers, driving efficiency, and aligning with EU climate goals. Agriculture isn’t just adapting; it’s being reengineered for resilience.

#GreenDeal #AgTech #Intravision
What does Intravision do exactly? We offers clean, consistent and safe production of high-value plants for food & medicine.

Securing resilient supply chains in a world disrupted by climate change, water scarcity and limited land.

Food is only part of the picture. Controlled environments can protect fragile biodiversity—leafy greens today, medicinal plants tomorrow.

Every species saved, every compound preserved, is resilience.

#Biodiversity #MedicinalPlants #AgTech
From soil degradation to seedling trays lit by LEDs: this is the adaptation story. Vertical farming isn’t a silver bullet—but it conserves water, avoids pesticides, and grows clean food anywhere.

It’s not replacing nature, but buying resilience.

Fungi have always seemed strange but the more we learn, the stranger they become. From underground communication to medicinal potential, mushrooms may hold keys to plant intelligence & human health. We're investing in understanding that potential through ongoing NSERC research at UofGuelph. 🍄
Most plant-friendly fungi are a mystery to scientists
Most fungi that partner with plants are known only from trace DNA sequences left in soil.

In agtech, we (@intravision.ca avision.ca) see wetlands the way we see water systems in CEA: essential frameworks, not extras. Losing wetlands is losing nature’s filtration and memory. But it's also a call to act—CEA can deliver plant-level efficiency, but only if we value systems as much as yields.

At @intravision.ca, we see water as the most precious input in agriculture. Our CEA systems grow clean plant material with minimal water, showing resilience is possible. Scarcity is real, but innovation means optimism. 🌱🔬

Encouraging to see Europe invest in digital frameworks for land and resource management. The same principle applies in CEA: pairing data with biology unlocks resilience and efficiency. At @intravision.ca for example, data-driven insights move CEA from promise to practice. 🌿
