What Problem We are Solving
Problem
In conventional agriculture, a significant amount of chemical, water and energy input is necessary to obtain the best potential crop production.
This practice changes the natural environment, degrades soil quality, and removes biodiversity.
Agriculture was designed to make farming more effective, but it does so at a high environmental cost.
Conventional open field farming methods through cultivation in soil are seasonal and prone to soil-borne diseases and pests
We recognized the need for a more sustainable and efficient approach to vegetable and fruit cultivation.
We offer year-round lettuce, herbs and strawberries cultivated through our aeroponic and hydroponic greenhouse farming system ensuring purity, sustainability and offering healthier and more environmentally friendly produce.
With control over pests and disease vulnerability of crops, a weed free environment, maximized yields with shorter harvest cycles, minimized space, reduced water usage and a better growth rate, we will contribute to revolutionizing agriculture starting with our farm in Port Elizabeth, South Africa.
