Certhon and Living Greens Farm partnered

Living Greens Farm is the largest vertical, indoor aeroponic farm in the USA. Their disruptive vertical farming technology delivers a unique product proposition for extremely long shelf-life of full-size head lettuce varieties and ready to eat bagged salads and salad kits. “We have a large regional network of retail customers within the USA and are raising funds to build a large-scale commercial facility and processing centre in Muncie, Indiana”, George Pastrana, President and CEO, explains. “Our unique product offerings have been a success with retailers and their shoppers, alike, but when it comes to further development or selling the technology full solution outside of North America, we are excited to cooperate with a partner like Certhon”.

Certhon is a leading technical horticultural company and has a worldwide network of growers, investors, and researchers who have an interest in this innovative growing technique. Certhon will bring its technological expertise and global network to this partnership, to further develop and help market the aeroponics technology outside North America. The concept is fully controlled and automated, a perfect addition to other recently launched automated growing concepts of Certhon’s solution portfolio. For investors and producers who are interested in this growing technique for growing full-size, robust lettuce without pesticides and with extra-long shelf life, Certhon will provide more information on this partnership, during the GreenTech Amsterdam in June.

A Shared Mission

Living Greens Farm and Certhon have the same mission – to feed the world’s growing population. This core alignment will create a highly effective collaboration as each company complements the partnership with their own areas of expertise. Certhon is an expert in innovations to improve food systems, and Living Greens Farm is innovating in both aeroponics technology as well as their full-size lettuces and ready-to-eat salad kits. “Above all, this technology makes it possible to use less land and water, while reducing the carbon footprint and eliminating the need for harmful chemicals like pesticides and herbicides”, Pastrana points out.

GreenTech Amsterdam

During this exhibition, Sales Manager Damion Schwarzkachel, will explain more about this partnership and the aeroponics technology. Certhon is located in Hall 5, stand 05.250.
