Farmer Shin Moon-seok said, "I think basil is the easiest crop to grow," adding, "People do not move, but harvest and trim (basil shelves) when they come to the right side with an automated system." The YouTube video, which introduced a container vertical farm equipped with light, temperature and humidity control, and automatic watering system, was posted on the official YouTube channel of the agricultural company "Nubo" in July last year and played about 130,000 times.
