An apparatus for use in growing a plant crop comprises a structure 12 enclosing a volume in which a crop can be maintained in a controlled environment during the growth of a crop, the structure housing two endless belts 15 in spaced-apart parallel relationship and mounted for synchronous motion about a closed path, a trough to removably retain a nutrient solution for a crop, suspension means to enable a container 19 holding a crop to be suspended between and move with the belts, the paths of the belts being such as to at least partially immerse the container in nutrient solution and feed a crop at least once on a complete belt circuit. The floor of the structure may consist of a building roof 11. One or more lasers or cameras may be mounted within the structure. |
