AmplifiedAg, an agritech startup that focuses on vertical farming via its Vertical Roots subsidiary, is supplying a vertical farm laboratory for an international CEA wastewater research project being conducted by Clemson University in South Carolina and Gyeongsang National University (GNU) in South Korea.

AmplifiedAg is building a multi-container hydroponic vertical farming lab that will turn wastewater into nutrient-rich water that can be used to successfully grow plants inside a modular controlled environment agriculture (CEA) farm. The wastewater research project will be carried out in the vertical farming facility, which will be brought to Clemson University's campus in the spring of 2023.

The company is also the technology supplier for the USDA-ARS CEA Center of Excellence, where the organization is performing major indoor farming research in addition to supporting this wastewater project.
