Autonomous Vertical Farming From Seed to Harvest

At the core of BVF lies a fully autonomous vertical growing system that redefines how forage is produced. This isn’t just smart agriculture it’s a Fully controlled, closed-loop ecosystem that operates independently, efficiently, and at scale.

Real-Time Monitoring of Environmental Impact Metrics: GHG, Water, Land

Groundbreaking Patentable Technology

How It Works?

BVF’s Optimized Growth Protocol, Powered by Smart Climate Control

Our system automates the entire feed production cycle, with no human labor required

Seeding

Precision Seeding Using Optimized Nutrient Formulas

Sprouting

Controlled Irrigation, Temperature, and Humidity Conditions

Growth

Hydroponic Cultivation Under Fully Monitored Parameters

Harvesting

Automated Cutting and Collection at Peak Nutritional Value

The Entire Process Is Run via An Advanced Control System
That Ensures Consistency, Traceability, and Real-Time Monitoring.

Built on Controlled Environment Agriculture (CEA)

BVF’s platform combines:

These Challenges Are Pushing Livestock Producers to The Edge.
A New Approach Is Urgently Needed, One that Is Efficient, Resilient, and Sustainable.

Flexible Scale. Powerful Results.

BVF systems are built for flexibility – designed to fit the needs of small-to-large large-scale operations.

Whether you’re supplying feed for 500 or 5,000 cows, our modular architecture allows you to scale up or down with ease.

For Reference

A high-capacity BVF unit producing up to 60 tons of fresh forage per day
can replace the output of approximately 200 hectares of conventional corn silage while using 95% less water and 99% less land.

Each project is tailored to your site, herd size, and climate conditions – with all systems pre-assembled, tested, and ready for rapid deployment.

Unmatched Precision, Unmatched Performance

Compared to conventional forage crops like corn silage, BVF delivers:

This is not just a farming method – it’s an engineered system built for resilience, efficiency, and future-ready agriculture.

Designed for Livestock. Built for The Future.

BVF provides a new standard in feed production.
Enabling farmers to own their supply chain, reduce emissions, and ensure feed security,
without the variables and vulnerabilities of traditional agriculture.

Baccara Vertical Farms (BVF)
is revolutionizing livestock feed production with a fully autonomous, climate-controlled vertical farming system. As a subsidiary of Baccara-Geva (a global leader in industrial automation), BVF combines decades of automation expertise with advanced agronomy to transform how dairy farmers produce nutrient-rich feed.

The company addresses a critical challenge: in unpredictable climates, securing consistent, high-quality feed supply is one of the greatest challenges facing dairy and livestock producers. BVF’s solution enables farms to produce fresh, sprouted grain feed on-site, 365 days a year, with minimal labor, water, land, and zero chemicals.

Key Impact:
A single 700 m² BVF system produces 15 tons of feed daily, replacing 50 hectares of traditional corn silage or alfalfa cultivation while supporting up to 1,000 dairy cows.
