Question 69

Extract A

At AeroGreens' fully automated vertical farming facility in Sheffield, LED lighting rigs and liquid nutrient systems run 24 hours a day. While traditional agricultural setups rely heavily on seasonal manual harvesting, AeroGreens employs just 12 technicians to oversee automated robotic harvesters. In Q3, the facility produced 48,000 kilograms of premium microgreens. The management team is currently reviewing whether to upgrade their software to further boost productivity (line 8).

Define the term 'productivity' with reference to a business such as AeroGreens (Extract A, line 8).
