UPROOT is an agritech enterprise that aims to make fresh food more accessible, affordable, and available in high-density urban areas. Through sustainable farming methods and the application of automation, we grow food using fewer resources, by keeping track of data points to help us provide the exact temperature, humidity, CO2, pH, proper dosing of nutrients, and unique light recipes that increase the nutrient content for a variety of crops.
Producing food using shipping containers enables us to grow food closer to where people eat, live, and work. It removes the need for big plots of land to grow food. Eliminating the transportation of high-value crops from far distances, maintaining quality, and ensuring more nutrient-dense vegetables.
By bringing farming direct to cities, it shortens our food value chain from 8 levels to just 2, urban farm straight to consumer. It will also help lessen our country’s food waste which accounts for more than 2 thousand tons of fresh food* thrown straight into landfills every day. – World Wildlife Fund Philippines (WFF-P), 2021.
It allows communities access to fresh and safe produce while making agriculture decentralized, efficient, and transparent.
