Indoor farming is transforming environmental and societal sustainability with Pure Produce®, which offers superior nutrition, flavor, and food safety far beyond that of organic produce. Farming with anu'™s innovative technology slashes water usage by 90%, completely eliminates the need for pesticides and preservatives, and significantly cuts carbon emissions. Traditional produce supply chains and centralized farming result in unavoidable energy and construction-related scope 3 emissions. These emissions are simply a result of the activities indirectly required by traditional farming to bring produce to the consumer. Anu™ seeks to reduce these scope-3 emissions with modular, upcycled shipping containers. Moreover, anu'™s advanced compostable seed pods virtually eliminate potent greenhouse gasses like methane and nitrous oxide by preventing fertilizer runoff and reducing landfill waste.
