Our Impact

CHALLENGES
FACED

LIMITED
RESOURCES

The resources of this planet are limited, and sustainable food production is the challenge of the upcoming years.

POPULATION
GROWTH

Global population growth and climate change are placing increasing strain on traditional agricultural systems. It is estimated that global food production will need to increase by up to 70% over the next 30 years to feed the world’s growing population.

TRADITIONAL
LIMITATIONS

That increase in production is not sustainable as arable land continues to be depleted and supply chain lengths increase. Vertical farming can therefore offer a sustainable solution for urban areas.

TAKING
FARMING TO
THE NEXT LEVEL

Vertical farms are fully automated and scalable, vertical growing systems. Light, water and temperature can be adjusted individually for each plant to grow in reliable quantities and intervals resulting in great tasting, high quality crops.

BENEFITS
OF VERTICAL
FARMING

LESS IS MORE

0%
less water consumption compared to open field cultivation (using IGS technology)
0%
less fertiliser used than in greenhouses and open field cultivation
0%
on average land usage reduction compared to greenhouses

FRESH ALL-YEAR
ROUND

Fresh and sustainable harvest in consistent quantities throughout the year regardless of the season.

NO EMPTY
PROMISES

Our traceability process will grant 100% transparency throughout the plant life cycle.

USING LESS RESOURCES TO
GROW FRESHER FOOD

WHY
GROWING
LOCAL
MATTERS

LESS
MILES

Our crops (unlike conventionally grown plants) have not seen much of the world. Due to the local cultivation and the short transport routes, they accumulate less “food miles”.

LESS
WASTE

During long-distance transportation up to 30% of food is lost. Shorter supply chains result in less waste.

LESS
POLLUTION

Traditional long-distance transport uses high energy consumption for food cooling and storage. Short transport routes result in less pollution.

CO-LOCATING VERTICAL FARMS CLOSE TO THE COMMUNITY REDUCES DELIVERY DISTANCES, MINIMISES FOOD WASTE, GUARANTEES TRACEABILITY AND SUPPORTS THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION’S
