Controlled environments that accelerate innovation and deliver reproducible results

The United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), or Global Goals, are a collection of 17 ambitious objectives that were adopted by the United Nations in 2015, as an urgent call-to-action to achieve a better, and more sustainable future for all people and the planet by 2030. Indoor vertical farming contribute substantially to eight of these 17 goals.

With indoor vertical farming, the environment is completely controlled, all water transpired by the crops during their photosynthesis process therefore, can be recycled. The water is then sanitised, infused with the right nutrients, and fed back to the crops. This reduces water usage by 95% compared to traditional open-air or greenhouse farming.

The traditional food supply chain is long. Food travels thousands of kilometres, and has many stopovers and touchpoints, from cooled warehouses to multi-day airconditioned transportation. Thereby creating a large amount of waste on its journey from field to fork. Hyper-local indoor vertical farms reduce the distance, time, and waste to almost zero.

Indoor vertical farming creates food security through sustainable agriculture. It produces and makes accessible year-round, nutrient-rich, fresh, and healthy food for everyone, including those living in harsh climates. The consumption of fresh produce is moreover associated with a decrease in chronic disease.

Indoor vertical farming uses 90% less land than traditional agriculture, uses CO2 for plant growth, and produces 20-30 times more food in the same space. Indoor vertical farms moreover eliminate fertiliser run-off and land degradation, protecting all terrestrial ecosystems. As of 2022, our solutions are officially CO2 negative.

While conventional farming requires part-time or seasonal employees, indoor vertical farms require full-time, year-round employees. Thereby offering hyper-local, full-time, year-round jobs to communities across the globe, and enabling economic growth in inner cities, desert regions with no rainfall, or regions with limited sunshine.
