Otta's take

Sam Franklin headshot

Sam Franklin

CEO of Otta

Agricultural tech, once thought to be a slow-moving sector, has seen an insurgence of funding in recent years. Plenty is one company that has tapped into this and the ever-growing demand for nutritious, sustainable, and chemical free farmed goods by creating cleaner, space-efficient farms.

Plenty's farms are designed to maximise sustainability whilst significantly increasing crop yields. The company is able to optimise on space through use of vertical farms, where plants are grown in levels to save on land and water use. Plenty stays true to its promise of cleaner farmed products by not using pesticides and keeping produce GMO free.

2022 investment from companies including the superstore giant Walmart means that Plenty is able to offer products to customers on a much larger scale. With Californian Walmart stores now stocking Plenty's produce, the company is set to increase profits and popularity. Vertical farming looks to be part of the future of agricultural tech, and Plenty continually invests into development and production to meet growing demand.
