Farming and nutrition

Ongoing

The Problem: Food and the related supply chains are outsized drivers of climate change, carbon emissions, and water and land use.

The Task: Shift the paradigm from existing food supply channels to significantly decrease waste, water usage, and food miles driven.

Outcome: On-site, containerized agriculture uses 99% less water than traditional farming while being resilient to seasonal changes. Using smart farms with integrated IoT technology to control every aspect, we can deliver more delicious, more nutritious food to Wellstar customers at a fraction of the ecological cost.
