InFarm's Impact

InFarm are growing a global network of climate-resilient farms that are closer to our communities and kinder to the environment.

InFarm's Core Mission and Values

Greenhouse gas emissions:

InFarm's approach is tackling the GHG emissions challenge in many ways. From growing in urban places and reducing food miles to choosing the least harmful packaging and reducing food waste.

Land Use:

Farming vertically allows us to minimise the space required for growing crops. Their analysis shows that their farming model is up to 100 x more efficient than conventional farming. This has allowed them, within Infarm’s young lifespan, to save more than 200,000 sqm of land.

Water scarcity:

They use 95% less water than traditional agriculture due to our closed, near-total circular system, which regularly recycles water and recaptures the water evaporated from the plants back into the system.

Chemical Pesticide:

At InFarm, we don't use any form of chemical pesticides. Simple as that!

Biodiversity Loss:

InFarms impact on biodiversity is inherently positive. They are growing without chemical pesticides and saving enormous amounts of land, freshwater, and GHG related to food miles. In doing so, they tackle biodiversity loss on many fronts. For example, the land they avoid using may be left undisturbed, set aside for conservation, rewilded, or restored.
