Grow where the consumers shop
Swegreen is an agtech company and a vertical farming innovation venture. We offer a digitized and automated growing solution which is integrated into retail stores, restaurants, and shopping malls for hyperlocal production of leafy greens, salads, herbs, and spices.
To be able to effectively offer the market’s best greens we combine advanced digital technology and data analytics with agricultural know-how and world-leading techniques. Greens with the highest nutrition content and maximum taste, have the lowest need for resources and climate footprint possible. We offer a unique subscription-based model called Farming-as-a-Service.
Customers see the vegetables grow behind the glass walls of the greenhouse while shopping, which provides a unique experience, and you and your store are at the forefront of an essential green transition.
CLIMATE IMPACT BEGINS IN THE SALAD BOWL
Surprisingly, food is one of the last things many people think of when it comes to climate change. In fact, it should be the first. Today, 30% of our global greenhouse gas emissions are associated with food and its processes. In Sweden, we import fruits and vegetables worth of 25 billion SEK each year. Imported food accounts for 60% of our climate impact. By 2050, there will be 10 billion people on the face of earth, according to a UN’s forecast. At the same time, the arable land is declining drastically due to global climate change, such as sea level rise and desertification. With our hyper-locally grown greens, we could be a part of the solution.
We break new grounds
Growing in an urban environment with hydroponic cultivation technology without soil is nothing new really. What sets us apart from other actors working with vertical solutions is our innovative setup with world-leading technology that enables us to grow our greens from seeds to fully grown plants in the middle of a grocery store. Customers see the vegetables grow while they shop and are offered the fresh crops on the spot where they have been grown. As local as locally grown can get.
This is how we grow
In our units, we grow without soil and give the plants the exact right amount of nutrients, optimal temperature and humidity, the right amount of carbon dioxide for photosynthesis and light. Our sustainable and circular thinking has shaped the entire system, which means that we recycle nutrients, carbon dioxide from the store and the irrigation water that the green needs to grow. That light is pink is because the combination of right spectrums that the plants need for their photosynthesis to grow optimally. In a completely controlled environment, no pesticides and herbicides are needed. In other words, the vegetables are so clean that the customer could eat them directly from the shelf without any need to be washed.
