Carbon Less Future Makes Reforestation Visible With Vertical Farming
Cultivating 33,600 Saplings Per Cycle for Year-Round Planting
Latvia-based Carbon Less Future (CLF) is building a new model for reforestation, one shipping container at a time. Their container-based tree-growing system, designed around vertical farming principles, can cultivate up to 33,600 saplings in a single cycle. The system is intended not only to optimize growing conditions but to make reforestation visible, accessible, and verifiable.
"A lot of companies donate money to plant trees, but never see them grow. We wanted to change that," says Aigars Jacuks, COO and Co-founder at CLF. Together with CEO and Co-founder Aivis Garais, the team developed a twelve-meter container equipped with a glazed ten-meter wall that allows passersby to observe the growth process in real time.
"The container is more than just a mobile nursery," Jacuks explains. "It's a multi-layered smart farming unit designed for energy efficiency and growth optimization. Each unit includes ten growing levels, five racks per side, and is insulated with six centimeters of food-grade stainless steel. The exterior is clad in thermowood, a durable material selected for both longevity and aesthetics. We wanted it to be beautiful and functional."
