Vertical Farming is Big in Europe -- Making its Way to America

The Netherlands, Germany, Britain and Israel have been growing various foods using state-of-the-art hydroponic growing methods for several years and are global leaders in all-natural food production.  India and China are developing similar ways to address their food crises. 


The Netherlands (aka Holland) is the 2nd biggest ag exporter behind the United States while comprising only 16,000 sq. miles compared to America's 3,800,000 sq. miles.  (4.2%)

How can the Dutch produce so much agriculture for global markets from such a tiny space?  


The Answer?  Technology.


The United States is now entering into this ag-tech "space" with companies like AeroFarms, Bowery Farming, Gotham Greens (on top of Whole Foods stores), 80 Acres Farms, and Plenty being the first to begin their "ventures" in America with substantial funding from VCs.


Our patented technology and imaginative ways to blend renewable energy capture, collecting rainwater from the roofs of the massive solar greenhouses, and lucrative digital technology (like data processing and 5G communications services) are much more viable operating models.  We intend to scale prudently.  A reliable financial newsletter recently stated the global healthy foods market for humans will likely reach about $150B by 2025.  


The pet foods market is projected to be over $113B by 2025 with most foods manufactured in Kansas and Missouri.  Analysts project a robust 9% growth in the organic pet food sector.

  According to the American Pet Product Association, a cat or dog owner, on an average, spends up to $300 (USD) annually on pet food with many going toward organic. 

This is one expanding industry segment we will serve with our all-natural ingredients.


While taking advantage of the Investment Tax Credit (ITC) for renewable energy as equity funding, we have leveraged enterprising, original approaches to complementing current methods of food production with fully sustainable systems for food, energy, water and digital messaging to include data processing and storage with high levels of security.  


Our business model is designed to minimize financial and market risks while optimizing subsidies, technology, and consumer trends to prepare for the future well before it gets here.  We're blazing trails that lead to prosperity.  Use your Federal taxes to join us.


The Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 {IRA22} allows tax-exempt organizations to be treated like taxpayers in regard to receiving dollar-for-dollar rebates for capital injections. This benefit can be as high as 60% of all qualified expenses when a tax-exempt entity invests seed capital for startup groups that launch new enterprises in "Low-Income (Community) Economic Benefit" zones or within "LIEB" boundaries. Kansas has many qualifying areas.
