Description

Sustenir uses Controlled Environment Agriculture (CEA) techniques to grow pesticide-free leafy greens all-year round in urban areas. Their vertical farms, located in Singapore, Hong Kong, and Malaysia, minimize the carbon footprint and maximize impact in local communities. By using artificial intelligence and LED lighting, Sustenir extends the shelf-life of their crops, reducing food wastage and the need for long-distance transportation. Their mission is to disrupt the global food value chain by producing locally and providing socially and environmentally responsible products.
