Why America Needs Local Produce at Scale

America’s food system faces growing pressure:

  • Most produce travels thousands of miles

  • We import 45% - 50% of our fruits and vegetables

  • Long transportation means cost, spoilage, waste

  • Rising costs forcing many farmers into bankruptcy

  • Communities need stronger local food security

Commercial greenhouse production changes the equation.
Growing produce closer to population centers allows food-to-shelf in days. Not weeks.

  • Fresher produce

  • Longer shelf life

  • Less spoilage

  • Reduced transportation cost

  • Stable regional supply

  • Stable pricing

  • Year-round harvests
