\"\"You may know we\u2019re an indoor farming and fresh food brand, but did you know that our passion for safeguarding our natural resources informs every decision we make? <\/span><\/h5>\n

At Gotham Greens, we strive to do more with less. It\u2019s all rooted in our love for the planet and our belief that we can farm more thoughtfully. Let\u2019s dive into four ways we are growing greens, in greener ways.<\/p>\n

We grow our greens using less water.<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

We believe in being good stewards of water \u2013 one of our most precious resources. We\u2019re proud to grow our greens using up to 90% less water than traditional, open-field farms. This is equivalent to saving over 450 million gallons of water annually \u2013 that\u2019s equal to more than 680 Olympic-sized swimming pools! 70% of global freshwater withdrawals are used for agriculture, which takes a massive toll on Earth\u2019s natural resources. Using water thoughtfully means caring for and protecting our local water systems, and in turn providing more clean water for those who need it.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"And the water we do use? We recycle.<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

Our greenhouses use hydroponic growing methods without soil, and the water we use is constantly being filtered and recycled back to feed the plants. <\/span>Food systems are the largest consumer of land and fresh water on the planet, and the leading cause of global water pollution. We designed our farms to keep water recirculating indoors \u2014 and out of local rivers, streams and lakes.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

We grow using less land.<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

Did you know that half of the world\u2019s habitable (ice- and desert-free) land is used for agriculture? It\u2019s true \u2014 and contributes to pollution of groundwater and land.<\/span> We use advanced greenhouse technology and automation to grow much more, with much less space. At Gotham Greens, we use up to 97% less land than traditional farming. That\u2019s around 30 times more lettuce per acre of land!\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\"\"\n

And the land we do use? It\u2019s closer to you.\u00a0<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

To reduce emissions related to food production, we must move production closer to consumers, increase yields, decrease food waste, improve farming practices, and shift to a plant-rich diet. <\/span>We believe that g<\/span>reenhouse farming technology is a solution that addresses many of the issues caused by traditional agriculture. We also build our greenhouses closer to you \u2014 meaning our products don\u2019t have to travel as far. Less miles traveled means keeping less trucks on the road, and less transportation pollution.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

So, what does this mean for you? When you buy a package of lettuce at your local store, you\u2019re not just eating more greens. You\u2019re supporting our vision for a more sustainable future.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
