Who We Are
We are fed up of the poor quality of fresh produce. We have always wanted locally-grown, farm fresh produce right in the centre of the city without preservatives or pesticides.
By utilising plant science and novel technology, we can revolutionise how we grow fresh produce. By building a controlled environment agriculture system, we can grow ultra high-quality produce in the centre of the city, reducing the strain on soils and spent farmland.
Sapling is a technology company at heart. We are obsessed with science, technology, data, and of course food! We are passionate about injecting robotics and technology into food production to push our food system to adapt to an ever-changing climate and ultimately increase sustainability.
