Research & development

Research and development is an inherent part of our DNA. It is the key to our competitive advantage.

For more than three years, we’ve been working with world-renowned herb researchers and agro-engineers to develop our unique knowledge and expertise. This has allowed us to build the first state-of-the-art, fully controlled, soil-based vertical farm growing perfect and fresh products.

We’ve partnered with Agriculture Research Organization (ARO), one of the world’s leading agricultural research institutes. ARO is responsible for Plant Sciences, Plant Protection, Soil, Water and Environmental Sciences, Agricultural Engineering and Postharvest and Food Sciences.

We continue to make significant R&D investments to push the limits of agro-science. We’re building the future with our unique proprietary seed development program. We can create, breed and develop bespoke seeds that are customized for vertical farming. All these breeds are non-GMO and made using a 100% natural breeding process. We’re experimenting with new crops and developing engineering solutions every day.

Soil is the key

Plants and crops are nurtured by having their roots in the soil, exactly as nature intended. It’s the key to growing plants that are packed with nutrition and flavour.

Zero pesticides

We say NO to pesticides! It is one of our core values and the way in which we farm today.

Proof of Wageningen

We’ve developed a new farming system and we’re continuously investing in research and development. We monitor, inspect, optimize, research and repeat. It’s an iterative process. We built the farm, applied our new agricultural techniques, created the perfect growing conditions and had our crops independently tested by Wageningen University.
