Answers to keep your project moving

Crop Urbanis is led by Ilia Sukhodolov, a plant scientist and international consultant specialising in vertical farms, greenhouses and resilient food systems. The mission is to make controlled-environment agriculture practical, profitable and sustainable for organisations of every size.

Clients include agritech startups, investors, equipment suppliers, retailers, hospitality groups, universities, NGOs, municipalities and existing farm operators looking to launch or optimise controlled-environment facilities. Early engagement reduces risk and saves cost.

No. We design and optimise production in vertical farms, greenhouses, hybrid or retrofitted spaces and compact urban sites—from restaurants and hotels to research labs, rooftops and logistics hubs. If a space can host utilities and basic climate control, we can adapt a system.

We cover feasibility, crop and system selection, layout and technology recommendations, nutrient and IPM programmes, SOP creation, team training, remote/onsite supervision, business modelling and CAPEX/OPEX planning tailored to your goals.

Yes. Engineering & Tech Specs engagements benchmark lighting, climate, fertigation and automation stacks, provide integration roadmaps and coordinate with vendors during procurement.

Lettuce and leafy greens, tomatoes, cucumbers, peppers, eggplant, culinary herbs, saffron, mushrooms, edible flowers, fodder/microgreens and more. We tune systems for the crops you need.

Yes. We support clients remotely and on-site across Europe, the Middle East, Africa, North America and Asia with consulting, training and supervision. Travel plans are scoped during kickoff.

A: Yes. All curricula, signage and facilitator guides can be delivered in six languages — English, French, Russian, Spanish, Chinese, and Portuguese — with localisation workflows defined from the outset.

Strategy and feasibility sprints run 4–6 weeks, commissioning programmes 8–16 weeks, and optimisation retainers adapt to crop cycles. We confirm milestones, deliverables and governance checkpoints during scoping.

Share site layouts, utility capacities, crop targets, historical yields, budget ranges and regulatory constraints. We use this data to tailor models, risk assessments and KPI tracking from day one.

Yes. Training, SOPs & Remote Support missions, plus the Hydroponic Nutrient Solutions masterclass and free microgreens course, deliver hands-on coaching, calculators and bilingual materials.

Live cohorts provide workbooks, nutrient calculators, lab templates and follow-up coaching notes. The microgreens programme ships printable checklists, sowing-density charts, troubleshooting flows and regional supplier shortlists so teams can act immediately.

We provide post-launch optimisation plans, analytics dashboards and governance playbooks so teams can monitor KPIs, manage crops and update SOPs. Retainer support is available when ongoing tuning is required.
