Time has come for the next Farming. Look around: world population is booming and arable land gets destroyed at an alarming pace. Conventional intensive agriculture throws away precious fresh water and abuses of pesticides: this is a point of failure for planet Earth as a whole. Vertical farming could be one of the answers, but it is flawed: so capital intensive and too complex to manage to the point that investors are eventually running away with the right mix of science, software, engineering and creativity we fixed vertical farming: we made it simpler, accessible, reliable, ultimately scalable. But then what? Are we really sure that all this technology should only be used to grow lettuces? We believe there is much more to grow than greens. We are a deep-tech company; we care about the Future and get inspiration by Nature seen as a manufacturing platform we are crafting a new domain on the edge between technology and biology; with little imagination we called it “Future Farming”. So, in a nutshell, we are all about Future Farming.
