Supporting sustainable and resilient food systems

We build technologies that help growers understand their crops and environment to produce consistent, high-quality products with fewer inputs and less guesswork.

Mission

Making high-resolution, plant and environmental data at the individual plant-level practical, highly scalable, and affordable to enable operators to protect their yields and run more efficient facilities.

Philosophy: “Saving Acres”

We believe empowering growers with data-driven tools leads to a healthier planet. Vertical farming makes it possible to grow hyperlocal food in less space, reduce transportation emissions, minimize water consumption, and eliminate pesticide use. Supporting this shift allows us to help preserve natural ecosystems while ensuring sustainable food production for generations to come.
