COVID-19 and caused factory closures, which had no small impact on the supply chain. British businessmen used the indoor fish and vegetable symbiosis system of the plant factory to help provide green food for food charities during the virus crisis.

Phlizon technology company , a hydroponic grower and system supplier based in the UK, said the company is accelerating the construction of two new indoor areas on its plant workshops to grow fruits and vegetables for local food charities. In view of the current trend of slowing down the COVID-19, the company expects to complete one of the farming areas in April, and speed up the other area by June.

The original intention of  Grow was to hope that anyone from all over the world could grow fresh agricultural products near the point of consumption. It coincided with the peak of the epidemic and caused the supply chain crisis. The company believes that it is time to accelerate its pace to provide assistance. Therefore, Phlizon technology company uses Led Grow Lights and Ostara software to monitor and control indoor plant growth. The aquatic plant system uses a piece of cloth to support the plants, allowing the roots of the plants to hang in the fog to absorb nutrients. The company's hydroponic system can also use natural sunlight to maximize energy efficiency.

Phlizon technology company pointed out that since most of the farm’s operations are automated, only one person is required to operate on site at any given time, which can reduce the burden on manpower. The food grown is also produced in a highly cared environment, and once put into operation, these farms will be able to provide a stable, predictable and climate-adjustable food supply to local communities throughout the year.

As the spread of the global COVID-19 poses a challenge to the supply chain, vertical farms can help alleviate potential shortages, allowing some countries that rely on agricultural imports to ease pressure and fight the epidemic.
