Revolutionary multi-layer precision propagation solution to boost young plant production
VINELAND, ON, Oct. 7, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Today marks the official launch of FutureProp Inc., a unique partnership between Gold Leaf Technologies and Artechno Growsystems that aims to revolutionize plant propagation. By leveraging Artechno's state-of-the-art AVF+ vertical farming technology, FutureProp will deliver an innovative multi-layer precision propagation system to growers across North America.
"Over the past few years, we've worked closely with propagators in the Netherlands to explore the potential of using our AVF+ system for young plant propagation. The results have been remarkable — faster crop cycles, higher-quality plants, and greater consistency, which has growers excited," said Art van Rijn, Founder and President of Artechno Growsystems. "This partnership aligns perfectly with Artechno's global strategy to expand the adoption of our AVF+ Systems."
FutureProp, "powered by Artechno", will help growers increase production by incorporating grow cells into their existing facilities, maximizing space efficiency, reducing labour costs and creating more room for production.
Trevor Golding, CEO and Co-Founder of FutureProp, added, "At FutureProp, we aim to harmonize greenhouse growing with vertical farming to deliver meaningful, scalable solutions for North American growers. Partnering with Artechno brings incredible value, given their 30 years of experience in the greenhouse industry and a decade of leadership in vertical farming."
In addition to advancing floriculture and food crop propagation, FutureProp will collaborate closely with the forestry industry to improve the survivability of tree seedlings to address supply shortages. Other applications include graft healing, tissue culture transition, and the development of plant-based proteins.
FutureProp is also announcing a research collaboration with Vineland Research and Innovation Centre, in the heart of the Beamsville-Niagara greenhouse region and just a few hours from Ontario's greenhouse mecca, Leamington. FutureProp will work with growers to conduct trials, validating the results made possible by this cutting-edge technology.
"By placing an AVF+ Junior 15 research cell at Vineland, we gain independent, third-party validation of our methods, helping growers see the clear benefits for their specific crops," explained Golding. "These insights will provide growers with the data they need to calculate the return on investment for their operations."

FutureProp is a multi-layer precision propagation system to help propagators, greenhouses and tree nurseries maximize the production of their current facilities. Brought to you by Gold Leaf Technologies and Artechno Growsystems, it combines greenhouse and vertical farming technologies to solve the current space, climate, and labour challenges with propagation. Our method utilizes sensible automation and a controlled environment vertical system for the first 30-40% of the propagation cycle to significantly increase young plant production in a much smaller footprint.
