MEET THE MODERN DAY FARMERS
MEET THE MODERN DAY FARMERS
We’re the people to do it
At our core, we are driven by a fundamental belief that there is a better way to feed our future. We recognise the urgent need to address the pressing challenges of nature loss, climate change, and global food insecurity. Solving these issues is hard, but the greatest opportunity lies where they intersect – food systems.
The challenge on a global scale
Future Predictions:
We will need 56% more food to feed nearly 10 billion people in 2050.
Current Land Use:
We currently use 50% of the world's arable land for agriculture
Current Water Usage:
Agriculture’s irrigation accounts for 70% of water use worldwide
Growing in Naarm
With steadfast determination, we've established vertical farms in Melbourne, delivering locally grown produce with minimal food miles.
Through effective collaborations with major food industry brands, we've laid the foundation for a sustainable, equitable, and nutritious food system.
While acknowledging our limits, we concentrate on the intersection of food systems, leveraging our expertise and collaborative spirit to make a tangible difference in global challenges.
