Beyond a scientific project

Beyond A 'Science Project' AGM Services approach is unique in the industry. While we bring a highly scientific and rigorous approach to our vertical farming operations, we view this ultimately as a business which must be profitable for its owners. The overarching philosophy we apply to the innovation and delivery of our facilities is to optimize return on investment. We don't seek to achieve either maximum output or minimum operating cost where such goals result in overly-high, unjustifiable capital expenditures. We believe that investment returns are the superior metric for evaluating vertical farming facilities, as these figures distil the hundreds of potential decisions and trade-offs which are available in facility design.

However if financial returns were not the key driver, we could optimize for achieving the lowest operating cost, or maximal output. Further, our approach in providing a 'turn-key' solution to vertical farming operations allows us to move beyond the mere sale of equipment. Rather, we ensure the synthesis of capital equipment and operations within a facility to deliver optimal financial returns from the whole enterprise. Evaluating technical alternatives through the lens of investment returns also allows us to offer bespoke solutions for specific geographic locations, each taking into account local costs such as energy, water, and labour rates, providing an optimized investment return for a particular jurisdiction. Truly a "systems engineering" approach.
