INTAG education systems grow food, skills, and a new curriculum. Students, teachers, and school district staff benefit from INTAG systems’ hands-on learning environment created to develop real world science, technology, engineering, art/design and mathematics (STEAM) and business skills while also producing economical food output. Our systems are designed to be easy to maintain and grow vegetables and fruits of all varieties. In addition to the age-specific curriculum provided by INTAG secondary education systems, you will produce fresh, healthy food for your school cafeteria, to sell to the community, or for students and staff to take home to their families. The INTAG mobile classroom unit is the perfect size for demonstrations and memorable, impactful learning. Using INTAG’s scalable systems, enough produce can be grown to feed a classroom or an entire school district.

Lower Operating Costs [Daycare]
Lower Operating Costs:
INTAG systems eliminate your transport and cold storage costs associated with food delivery and storage. Your produce is grown at or near your facility, picked fresh, and prepared in a matter of minutes.  INTAG aquaponics systems have lower operating costs than traditional hydroponics and aquaponics systems primarily because we don’t need to source mineral nutrients....

INTAG systems eliminate your transport and cold storage costs associated with food delivery and storage. Your produce is grown at or near your facility, picked fresh, and prepared in a matter of minutes.  INTAG aquaponics systems have lower operating costs than traditional hydroponics and aquaponics systems primarily because we don’t need to source mineral nutrients. The fish in our aquaponics systems provide optimal nutrients, eliminating the need and expense of buying harvested minerals from mines.  Producers who switch to INTAG systems see an approximate 65% decrease in production costs. For instance, on average, the cost of microgreens will decrease from $30/lb to $9/lb, and spring mix will decrease from $15/lb to $4/lb. SHOW LESS
Higher Quality
Higher Quality:
INTAG systems are proven to grow food with superior taste. Independent third-party taste marker tests conclude INTAG’s superior quality of our plants. Robust flavor and nutrients ensure your produce is always at its peak.
Superior Nutrients
Superior Nutrients:
The holy grail of a nutritional diet is the sufficient intake of micronutrients. Much of American farmland is depleted of micronutrients due to decades of overuse. INTAG systems have verified third-party test results showing higher nutrient content levels than traditional hydroponics and in many cases, soil-based growing. Unlike traditional hydroponic systems where the nutrients have... READ MORE
The holy grail of a nutritional diet is the sufficient intake of micronutrients. Much of American farmland is depleted of micronutrients due to decades of overuse. INTAG systems have verified third-party test results showing higher nutrient content levels than traditional hydroponics and in many cases, soil-based growing. Unlike traditional hydroponic systems where the nutrients have to be manually added. INTAG systems produce a constant flow of natural micronutrients in our closed system.  SHOW LESS
TASTE/FLAVOR
TASTE/FLAVOR:
Food grown in a controlled environment is not weather-beaten, therefore it remains delicate, flavorful, and pure. INTAG systems grow tender, delicate greens that burst with flavor due to their high nutrient levels.
Appearance
Appearance:
Produce from an INTAG system is always the cream of the crop. Blemishes that can be caused by animals, pests, or severe weather are all eliminated with controlled environment agriculture. Produce from an INTAG system is always colorful, appealing, and fresh.
Transport / Logistics [Daycare]
Transport / Logistics:
In America, the average piece of produce travels 1500 miles before being consumed. Nearly 75% of the price you pay for food accounts for transportation, fossil fuels, and packaging. No transportation. No logistics. No packaging. You become the only distributor.  
Land Use & Scalability
Land Use & Scalability:
INTAG systems use a fraction of the square footage of a traditional soil garden because — you can go vertical. Stack our media beds to meet your demand.  We can provide high-yield production almost anywhere —  in a closet, backyard, roof, or nearly any unused space. Our clean room technology will safely retrofit any commercial... READ MORE

Workforce Development [Daycare]
Workforce Development:
Teach kids the real world skills that they need to live healthy, happy, and productive lives. INTAG systems help children understand the value of nutritious food and how it is sustainable to produce it on your own. They learn how ecosystems work and how important even the smallest insect is to our food and planet.
Agri-therapy [Daycare]
Agri-therapy:
INTAG systems are a proven, effective method of agri-therapy for patients with autism and post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). The benefits of agri-therapy include increased focus, confidence, community-building, nutrition and environmental awareness, and sense of achievement. Students, teachers, and staff gain life skills and develop a connection with nature and others. Caring for fish and... READ MORE
INTAG systems are a proven, effective method of agri-therapy for patients with autism and post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). The benefits of agri-therapy include increased focus, confidence, community-building, nutrition and environmental awareness, and sense of achievement. Students, teachers, and staff gain life skills and develop a connection with nature and others. Caring for fish and plants reduces stress and anxiety and generates a sense of pride and well being. INTAG systems can be configured to incorporate wheelchair and other accessibility requirements. SHOW LESS
Risk Mitigation
Risk Mitigation:
INTAG systems reduce the probability of foodborne illnesses by: removing warm-blooded animals from the production chain, thereby nearly eliminating the risk of e-coli and other organisms; reducing the number of hands that touch your produce; and bringing stability to the supply chain through controlled environments. In short, we control access to your food and climate-proof... READ MORE

Food Safety
Food Safety:
INTAG systems use a controlled growing environment, with no manure, no synthetic pesticides, and very limited interaction with human hands. We can configure our systems to exceed the most rigorous food safety requirements.
