Vertical Farming has been in an evolution toward efficiency and affordability. Tune in to hear how Eden Green Technology is leading the way.
Hydroponic and Vertical Farming is a technological advancement in agriculture that shows great promise in creating sustainable farming, reducing environmental impact, and improving access to produce in densely populated communities.
Eddy Badrina is CEO of Eden Green Technology, a vertical farming technology company dedicated to changing the way we farm our food and feed our communities with their regenerative business model. Eddy joins Karen Rands on this episode of the Compassionate Capitalist Podcast to talk about the advancement of this Agro-Tech for economies of scale for making this an affordable and effective method for urban farming. In one year, a 1.5 acre greenhouse built with Eden Green’s technology (on a roof top or in repurposed empty office and retail locations) can grow 2.7 million heads of leafy greens and harvest 11-13x more times than a traditional farm, while using exponentially less energy and water than a typical greenhouse.

Eden Green Technology is a vertical farming technology company. With a turnkey urban agricultural model-- regenerative business model... what does that mean?
Difference in scope and scale.... personal to whole racks and hydroponics vs aeroponics --- which does Eden use?
What can be grown, what can't... lettuce and perishable fruits-- tomatoes, strawberries, but what about corn and wheat for example.
Can buildings be retrofitted with your tech? or the green houses put on top of buildings/parking decks for the repurposing of facilities from closed big box stores, to empty office buildings and parking decks expected from a post covid virtual workforce?
I read on your website https://www.edengreen.com/ that your company mission is to Help the world grow produce locally to end food insecurity and regional food dependence.
In one year, a 1.5 acre greenhouse built with Eden Green’s technology can grow 2.7 million heads of leafy greens and harvest 11-13x more times than a traditional farm, while using exponentially less energy and water than a typical greenhouse. And because these greenhouses can be built almost anywhere, whether in an urban setting or right next to a distribution center, Eden Green makes it possible for produce to go from farm to shelf in 48 hours. Compared to the industry average of 9 days’ travel time, in which produce loses up to 40% of its nutritional value, and in which the risk of contamination and spoilage increases considerably, Eden Green’s ability to grow locally, with volume, sets it apart from conventional, and even other vertical farming methods. ---- that seems like utopia --- has Covid Pandemic been a wake up call for the food supply chain to really look at your type of offering??
