What does Iron Ox do?

At Iron Ox, our goal is to make food a renewable resource for everyone by growing delicious, renewable food that people love. We are pioneering a sustainable and precise way of growing fresh produce, using robotics and plant science to reduce agriculture's impact on global climate.

We have redesigned the entire growing process to grow delicious fresh produce sustainably. Using robotics & technology, we can reduce farming's historical reliance on water, land, and energy. Our approach enables us to enhance the quality of our produce while using approximately 90% less water than traditional farms and 75% less energy than LED-based vertical farms.

The use of robots is unique in our approach to precision farming and is a critical component of our broader farming ecosystem, a closed-loop system that optimizes plant yield, reduces growth cycle time, and maximizes crop quality. Our approach allows us to grow precisely what's needed, significantly reducing systemic food waste and CO2 emissions and allowing us to create an environmentally sustainable food supply. 

With the use of robotics, plant science, and artificial intelligence, we can ensure each individual plant receives the optimal levels of sunshine, water, and nutrients. Everything we grow provides us with data that feeds back into our system to make our subsequent crops even better! 

We believe food is best when it's fresh. Our facilities are designed to be distributed across local communities, so everything we produce stays near where it was grown, enhancing freshness and reducing transit impacts.
