3 Agtech startups revolutionizing our food system
By now we have all heard about vertical farming. The novel indoor farming that is beyond organic, sustainable and completely automized. Here the startups betting on a radically different food system: from mushroom growing in restaurants, to AI indoor farm technology.
1. Root AI
Hyper efficient indoor vertical farms are the future of food production. Growing chemical free and delicious produce. Root Ai knows this, and they are creating intelligent robots that will help growers build the farms of the future.
2. Smallhold
Smallhold is the first network organic mushroom farm in NYC. How it works? It provides retailers and restaurants with on site bookcase-size vertical farms that can produce large amounts of mushrooms — up to 120lbs per week. The mushrooms are then distributed throughout the partner network of groceries, restaurants, and markets.
The range of mushrooms produced are certified organic, beautiful and tasty.
3. iFarm
iFarm is also betting on modern urban farms, easing the transition by creating technologies that enable anyone to become an urban grower: for both personal and commercial uses.
These include vertical farm components, a platform to manage the farm, and modular solutions for stand-alone crop growing.
