All 500 Foods Projects
We develop software and related systems used by commercial growers for managing labour and many other aspects of their businesses. We're also developing systems to support shipping container farmnig as a model for growing fresh produce locally, year-round and with substantially less risk when compared to field crops, greenhouses, or vertical farming.
