AeroFarms

Today, agriculture is responsible for using 70 percent of the world's water supply. AeroFarms is a high-tech, data-driven vertical farming company revolutionizing global agriculture and drastically reducing the amount of water used. AeroFarms grows delicious, nutritious leafy greens and herbs without sunlight, soil, or pesticides. Their crops receive the perfect amount of moisture and nutrients misted directly onto their roots in a completely controlled environment. Their patented technology takes indoor vertical farming to a new level of precision and productivity with minimal environmental impact. By building farms on major distribution routes and near population centers, AeroFarms is disrupting traditional food supply chains and traditional growing seasons by enabling local farming at commercial scale all year round. AeroFarms also sets a new standard for traceability by managing their greens from seed to package, all while using 95 percent less water than field-farmed food and with yields 390 times higher per square foot annually. AeroFarms operates the largest vertical farm in the world, and with growing demand, they are scaling quickly to develop farms in multiple U.S. states and across the world.
