About Farm from a Box
The need to provide a sustainable food supply both domestically and globally is significant and riddled with challenges. From dwindling natural resources to a lack of infrastructure that can support reliable crop growth, we need to provide communities with the tools to grow their own food locally and earn a livelihood.
In response, they developed a comprehensive solution that acts as the “Swiss-Army knife” of sustainable farming; a single, deliverable unit that contains all of the core components needed for a 2-acre farm. Powered by renewable energy, Farm from a Box is ideal for any application that requires a comprehensive system that enables sustained local food production, without the need for an existing grid.
Building Local Food Economies.
Using regenerative agriculture techniques with precision farming technology, they have developed the most efficient and easy mechanism for starting and maintaining a planted farm. Using regenerative farming practices to grow seasonal, regionally appropriate food.
