At expoSE, Dürr Systeme, a first-time exhibitor at expoSE, is introducing EcoY, an innovative cultivation system for the resource-efficient cultivation of lettuce and strawberries based on controlled environment agriculture (CEA). EcoY uses sunlight as its primary light source and completely avoids artificial lighting. The plants grow in patented vertical planting tubes, which enable high space efficiency and optimal light distribution. A closed water cycle with hybrid hydroponics technology reduces water consumption by up to 95% compared to conventional agriculture.

The system is controlled digitally via a platform that precisely regulates all environmental parameters such as temperature, humidity, CO₂, and nutrient supply. EcoY enables year-round cultivation without pesticides—regardless of climate, location, or season—and is suitable for both urban areas and regions with extreme environmental conditions. The modular system is scalable and offers a sustainable solution for the safe, local food production of the future.
