Where the organization works
1 Submitted Idea
CREATE ·2024 Grants ChallengeGrowing a Sustainable Indoor Farm in the South Bay
This project is designed to maximize the growth potential of an aquatic plant species called Lemnoideae (aka duckweed). The idea is to produce products of value from the plant for sale into several markets of different sizes which have been selected according to our corporate growing capacity. Initially, the plant will be sold into local pet stores, animal feed markets, and through ecommerce, but as the company matures, larger markets such as the energy market or a more regional food stuffs industry will become part of the company's scope.
