Infarm is a global vertical farming company that revolutionises the food supply chain and helps make cities self-sufficient in their food production. It was founded in Berlin in 2013 by Osnat Michaeli and the brothers Guy and Erez Galonska, who turned a 1955 Airstream trailer into the worlds first mobile vertical farm. From this humble beginning, Infarm has partnered with the world’s top retail chains and is focused on North America and Europe. Infarm’s product catalogue consists of a variety of more than 75 plants such as herbs, leafy greens, salads and microgreens. Infarms modular farming systems are highly efficient, capable of growing more than 500,000 plants annually on just 40m2 of floor space. In addition to using 95% less land, Infarm requires 95% less water than traditional farming methods and uses no chemical pesticides. So far, Infarm has harvested over 40 million plants, while saving more than 145 million litres of water, more than 203,000m2 of land, and nearly 1.6 million food miles (about 3 million km) with its production methods. Infarm has set a science-based net-zero carbon target through The Science Based Targets initiative and is a Certified B Corporation™. Infarm’s operating entities are embedded in a holding company, infarm Indoor Urban Farming B.V, which is registered in The Netherlands.
