Infarm

The consumption of fresh produce — which is rarely native to most end markets — is a huge environmental burden on our planet. Seasonless appetites, lengthy transportation routes, and overused soil take a heavy toll not just on the environment but also on taste and nutrition.

Production of fresh produce is centralised in only few climate zones with an average distance of 2,500km between farm and retailer. As a result, the CO2 footprint of food equals 17% of total global emissions and 45% of plants’ nutrients are lost by the time they arrive in the supermarket.

That’s why Infarm exists. The Berlin-based team’s mission is to make cities self-sufficient in their food production with the world’s most advanced, easily scalable and rapidly deployable modular farms that can transform any retail space and fulfill any market demand.
