An automated system for providing a continuous yield of fresh agricultural produce. The system includes a housing including at least one zone for plant growth and at least one zone for holding automated robotic equipment. Robotic equipment includes a robotic device including at least one robotic arm for seeding seeds being stored in a seed reservoir in the seeding locations, for planting seedlings in the planting locations and for harvesting mature plants from the planting locations. Further disclosed are devices and methods for increasing efficiency of plant transfer and minimizing root damage during transfer. Further disclosed are devices and methods for increasing efficiency of plant growing, by providing oxygen dissolved in irrigation water to the plant roots. |
