Inka Biospheric Systems introduces a vertical micro-farm called Inka Curve. The minifarm has a vertical bio-quilt that provides nutrition to herbs, grasses, fruits and vegetables. It’s further supplemented with a fish tank. The fish tank and the vertical farm are both powered with wind turbines and solar panels for cleaning and aerating the former and pumping water to the latter.
