AmplifiedAg is dedicated to revolutionizing agriculture by developing farms that use fewer resources, generate less waste, and produce more food to nourish the world. We are committed to transparency and continuous improvement as we advance our sustainable business strategy.
Sustainability Impact Update
Our first operations and impact evaluation, the AmplifiedAg Sustainability Impact Update, encompasses scope 1 and 2 emissions, resource consumption, waste reduction, and other social and environmental impacts, alongside our future goals and commitments.
Water Conservation
Our hydroponic farms utilize a closed-loop irrigation system, reducing water usage by up to 95% compared to traditional agriculture. We are pioneering water conservation strategies to minimize consumption and safeguard this vital resource.
Food Waste Reduction
As a USDA Food Loss and Waste 2030 champion, we are committed to cutting organic waste in our operations by 50% by 2025, aiming for total elimination. Through optimized harvesting, donations, and composting, we ensure responsible food waste disposal and avoid landfills, thereby reducing waste-related emissions.
Food Safety
We prioritize growing the safest, highest-quality food. Our farms are designed to meet the highest global food safety standards. Lettuce grown in our enclosed hydroponic farms is shielded from harmful contaminants and pests. AmplifiedAg’s Vertical Roots farms hold USDA Harmonized GAP+ and FDA PrimusGFS certifications.
Emissions & Energy Efficiency
While vertical farming demands more energy to maintain controlled environments, we are continually enhancing the efficiency of our farms and exploring alternative energy sources. Our sustainability initiatives aim to reduce emissions and educate the public on environmentally conscious practices.
Optimizing Land Use
AmplifiedAg constructs modular, scalable farms that enable farmers to grow more food in less space. With vertical growing methods and year-round harvest schedules, Vertical Roots can produce up to 90% more lettuce than conventional, mono-cropped farms in the same area.
Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion
AmplifiedAg and Vertical Roots are committed to fostering a diverse and inclusive culture across all roles, levels, and locations. Our strength lies in the diversity of expertise, perspectives, and experiences. We are devoted to the principles of equity and inclusion for all team members, driving innovation and collaboration throughout our growing company.
