Urban|Vine: Eden Green
Excerpt from the Urban|Vine article
What is unique about Eden Green compared to competitors?
Eden Green sets itself apart in the wide-ranging world of CEA through both its patented technology and unique distribution model.
In the growth process, our system uses 90% less artificial light than standard vertical farms – that’s because we operate primarily on sunlight with a supplementary, proprietary mobile light system. This system complements the sunlight so when the sun moves past one part of the vertical greenhouse, the light bar steps in to continue the growing process. Pair this with our patented microclimate technology and we are able to reduce energy costs while improving the quality and consistency of our yield. We also have a unique model for distribution. We build our ultra-efficient, first-of-their-kind vertical greenhouses intentionally close to large distribution centers, which allows us to deliver produce to stores within 48 hours from the time it’s harvested. This enables greater accessibility to fresh, affordable, and reliable produce year-round.
Finally, our vertical greenhouses only take a year to build and deploy due to our rapid deployment system. In short, our mechanical, electrical and plumbing systems are all housed in one containerized unit, allowing for rapid deployment and scaling. Compare this with competitors who usually have to deal with a mess of pipes and wires running to become operational, and you end up with a construction process that’s easy, a plug and play, if you will.
