Solution
At Local Bounti, lettuce is grown year-round in a state-of-the-art semi-closed greenhouse, designed to ensure consistent quality and production. Even during the extreme Texas summer. A full mechanical cooling system enables precise climate control, while a centrally located double climate chamber further enhances climate stability and energy efficiency. The project also features an advanced irrigation system with an integrated ozone installation, supporting sustainable water use and optimal crop health.

Local Bounti, based in Texas, operates a state-of-the-art, semi-closed ModulAIR greenhouse built by Van der Hoeven, dedicated to year-round lettuce production under full climate control. Located on a spacious site in Texas, the facility features fully automated systems for seeding, climate regulation, irrigation, harvesting, and packaging. Designed to deliver consistent, high-quality leafy greens irrespective of outdoor conditions.

To ensure optimal growing conditions even during hot Texan summers, the greenhouse is equipped with a fully mechanical cooling system and a centrally placed double climate room. These systems provide maximum stability and energy efficiency, forming the backbone of a precisely controlled indoor environment. Water use is minimized and optimized thanks to an advanced irrigation system with an integrated ozone installation, promoting both efficiency and crop health.

Powered by Van der Hoeven’s advanced greenhouse technology, the project achieves maximum efficiency while minimizing its environmental footprint. As part of the integrated solution, our sister company Hortiplan’s Mobily Gully Sytem enhance hydroponic performance and optimize plant health.

Van der Hoeven continues to provide ongoing operational and engineering support, ensuring project performance aligns with Local Bounti's ambitious goals.
