At Zero Carbon Farms, Growing Underground is a successful initiative that uses ultra-modern facilities to grow food under CEA (Controlled Environment Agriculture) in unutilised spaces like underground tunnels.
Microgreens and salads are produced all around the year sustainably through resource-efficient processes.
They cater to the dense Urban areas around their modern farms. Their hyper-local delivery model reduces the food miles of the products, hence the carbon footprint of the company.
They use 100% home recyclable packaging.
Every day, a large number of people are migrating to cities increasing the population and hence the demand for food.
Revamped the entire tunnel into state-of-art equipment and techniques to produce microgreens for people of the local neighbourhood.
1. It reduces the food mile and hence the carbon footprint of the food delivery.
2. It creates an economy for the local communities
1. They offer Consultancy services to other Urban Farms
Relevance for other businesses: Other large spaces that have been abandoned in the public spaces could be used for zero-carbon farming.
