Food production challenges
facing the world
Population pressure – estimated 8.6bn people by 2030
Food insecurity – 50% of the global population will rely on international food sources by 2025
Declining crop yields – 30% lost due to pest and other issues accelerated by climate change
Increasing food miles – average distance for leafy vegetables from farm to store is 3,000 km
Nutrient loss from fresh – 30%-50% of nutrients are lost within the first three days post-harvest
Food waste – 1.3bn tons of food is wasted annually within the supply chain.
The answer is not ‘better logistics’
It is Controlled Environment Agriculture (CEA)
Increased yields per m2 used – up to x30 improved yields
A consistent, reliable, and regular supply of produce
Improved nutrient density by being closer to the consumer
Fewer resources consumed – 90% less water, less fertilizer
Climate and seasons indifferent
Lower waste across the whole supply chain
Versatile site location – urban, rooftops, degraded land
ZeroMile
