What Does Modern Agricultural Practices Involve?
By now, it is no secret that most modern agricultural practices involve much focus on artificial measures to boost production, with little regard for the consequent health and safety implications. The world population is increasing, and in the attempt to meet the growing demands, most producers (and even consumers) have forgotten how important the considerations of environment and procedures are when deciding what to consume and from where. Terra Firma Foods are taking the lead in solving this issue, for the betterment of their consumers and for the eco system.
Terra Firma Food focuses on cultivation of 100% organic produce throughout the year. The important facet here is the fact that production is independent on the climate, so import/export of seasonal foods is unneeded and these objectives are accompanied with the aim to help save the planet integrated in the process.
Terra Firma Aims
Terra Firma Foods strongly believes that food should not only be nutritious, but also tasteful and provide healthy growth. Advanced controlled environment technologies are used while still maintaining the use of nutrient rich, natural soil. This makes this venture distinct from most of the producers out there, since these characteristics allows consumers the experience of fresh and nutrient rich food which previous generations enjoyed and the sort which has become a rarity today.

The big picture and the need for Terra Firma Foods
United States has a strong demand for organic foods but the supply is not remotely close. More than 60% of organic produce in US is imported and 1% of its 335 million acres of farmland are certified organic farms. Organic greenhouse farming is less than 0.01 of 1% of total field acreage. Clearly not enough is being done to have more certified organic farms.
Feeding the world
To resolve this, Terra Firma Foods bypassed the issue field farming, which is very much dependent of the weather and such uncontrollable factors. Their Hoop Houses and Green houses simply extend the season. Terra Firma Foods grows in soil, all 365 days of the year, thus ensuring organic certification and quality supply. Their NexGen farm of 10, 000 square foot can operate 500 grow racks. One such facility for Spinach (500 modules) produces 100, 000 lbs/320, 000 5oz packages in 28 days. Also, doubling the modules doubles the output.
Out of $437B production of food in US, only $55B is organic. This addressable market also has expected continuous double digit growth for the past decade and more, with the global market being well over $100B in estimate.
With the current issue of climate change and poor quality foods, Terra Firma Foods have made possible a future in which our food consumptions will be healthy and natural, and at the same time be more eco-friendly.
