Profitable Enterprise
AeroFarms™ sustainable farming systems provide customers a typical return on investment (ROI) of 20-33%. These high returns are achieved through both high revenue generation and reduced costs. AeroFarms sustainable agriculture systems produce extremely high and predictable yields of high-value crops, all year round. The extreme predictability of high quality and yield results in premium pricing, contracting and private label opportunities. Meanwhile, AeroFarms systems reduce costs through a semi-automated and efficient design requiring less labor and reduced transportation cost by growing locally.
Lower Impact
Not only do AeroFarms systems generate profits, but they do so in an environmentally-responsible, low impact manner. Aerofarms sustainable agriculture reduces water, land, transportation and pesticide use. Through using a re-circulating nutrient mist, AeroFarms systems consume less than 20% of the water used by conventional soil-based agriculture and less than 80% of water used by other hydroponic systems. An AeroFarms system uses less than approximately 3% of the land required by conventional growing and its ability to locate in urban buildings reduces transportation emissions by 98% on average. Lastly, AeroFarms sustainable farming systems grow produce pesticide-free, which removes the negative impact on local ecosystems and human health associated with those chemicals.
Urban Renewal
AeroFarms systems are uniquely well-suited for urban applications through its indoor, vertically stackable design. This enables them to rehabilitate urban blight, by transforming old or vacant buildings into productive, profitable spaces. Urban farms also create jobs for unskilled labor and help boost the local economy. In addition, growing locally in urban centers results in better food safety and security.
Higher Quality of Food
Ultimately, the most important thing for consumers, and therefore AeroFarms customers, is the quality of produce grown. AeroFarms prides itself on its sustainable agriculture systems producing consistently high-quality greens. The produce is fresh, pesticide-free, local, longer-lasting, safer, and clean and dry upon harvest.
