FORCEGH+ facilities are designed as advanced AgTech, high efficiency building envelopes developed through proprietary engineering and materials. FORCEGH+ advantages include facility designs that harness solar power; advanced hydroponics providing precise and consistent high yield crop growth cycles; and the ability to be deployed in a variety of ecosystems. The Company has developed FORCEGH+ with the intent to optimize crop yields to as near maximize genetic potential, while eliminating the need for pesticides, fungicides, and herbicides, thereby providing customers with the next-generation of controlled-environment agriculture.

“We see the benefits of adding another key U.S. patent around our FORCEGH+ technology, which significantly expands the scope of coverage and extends the timeline around our IP,” commented Richard Wong, Chief Financial Officer of AgriFORCE.
