Shipping container farms (also known as hydroponic farming units) are a growing trend in modern agriculture. Farmers and hardcore gardeners are embracing container farms as a cost-effective way to expand farm production without purchasing additional acres of land. Unlike traditional farms, these containers create a controlled growing environment where factors like temperature, moisture, and light can be carefully monitored and adjusted as needed. Container farm crops aren’t just protected from the elements — they’re also safe from insects, pests, and invasive plants.
