TriOptimum Agrisystems grows food where it would not otherwise grow: in cities, in deserts, in the Arctic and in orbit. We build hydroponic groves, vertical farms and the climate systems that keep them productive, and we operate 86 farms on behalf of customers.

What we do
Products A–Z6.2
Vertical farms
Design, construction and operation of multi-story farms for retailers and cities, including the 24,000 m² farm at Almere, opened in September 2026, which runs on 1,640 HG-40 modules.
6.3
Climate systems
Lighting, irrigation, air handling and the control software that ties them together, sold to growers who prefer to run their own farms.
6.4
Seed and plant science
Varieties bred at Wageningen for closed environments: compact, fast and tolerant of the light and air of a farm with no weather.
Engineering
An HG-40 module grows on three tiers under its own lamps, with recirculating nutrient flow and a sealed air loop. Modules can be linked into groves of any size and moved without replanting.
The hydroponic groves at Citadel Station (TR-07738), built from HG-40 modules in 2019, are suspended pending the Turing Registry’s review. They have been secured in place.
