Why

Problem:

Our food system is broken, we will need to increase food production levels by +70%. We need to feed our growing population but have lost 1/3 of the planet’s arable land in the last 40 years.

Humanity’s need to produce healthy & tasty food, while not wasting our precious resources, is critical to our success.

Providing nutritious and flavorful food is essential for promoting public health and well-being. The focus is not only on increasing food quantity but also on improving its quality and taste.

Energy consumption has the largest impact on profitability in vertical farming. Pinterra’s expanding grow surface significantly reduces energy consumption/kg of produce.
Bulk media such as cocopeat, peat moss or rockwool is a major labour and cost factor in controlled environment agriculture. Pinterra eliminates the use of bulk media.
We are running out of arable land for agriculture. Pinterra’s extreme density planning provides an order of magnitude space savings.
