FarmBox Foods LLC, a Colorado-based manufacturer of tech-driven, controlled-climate farms housed in shipping containers, has partnered with New Alternative Green Energy, Inc. (New A.G.E.), a veteran-owned technology company with a focus on clean energy and environmental solutions. The partnership aims to address food security challenges in underserved communities while supporting clean energy initiatives.
As part of the agreement, containerized farms will be strategically placed in 450 locations around the world, producing approximately 100 million servings of nutrient-dense food over the course of the partnership. This initiative aims to provide reliable and sustainable food sources to communities in need.
Empowering Communities with Controlled-Climate Farming
FarmBox Foods’ innovative containerized farms are designed to empower communities by allowing them to grow their own nutritious food, addressing the challenges of food deserts and reducing supply chain disruptions. These climate-controlled units also help to minimize emissions and other environmental impacts typically associated with traditional farming and food transport.
“This is disruptive technology that has the ability to change the status quo for the better,” said Rusty Walker, CEO of FarmBox Foods. “We’re eager to work alongside New A.G.E. to collectively make a difference in the world.”
Expanding Sustainability Efforts
New A.G.E. brings its clean energy solutions to the partnership, with plans to launch large-scale hydrogen infrastructure projects that aim to make clean energy more accessible. In addition to its energy projects, New A.G.E. is focused on developing farm-to-table communities, known as agrihoods, where residents can live sustainably and connect with their food sources. These agrihoods are designed to promote a lifestyle centered on simplicity and sustainability.
“These neighborhood villages offer residential living with a farm-to-table focus for families seeking a lifestyle centered around simplicity and sustainability. Residents connect with the land, get to know their neighbors, and enjoy confidence in and control over their source of food,” the New A.G.E. website explains.
