Inevitable Tech

Company Description

Inevitable Tech, which launched autonomous farming in 2018, grows produce in proprietary greenhouses designed from the ground up to mitigate the environmental impacts of agriculture — a data-driven approach backed by plant science, robotics and artificial intelligence. The company’s mission is to make growing fresh produce carbon negative. Inevitable Tech has redesigned every step of the farming process, from seed to store shelf, achieving levels of precision that are impossible through conventional farming.

The agriculture industry is the second largest contributor to global warming, according to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). Agriculture is also a leading driver of land-use change (for instance, through the conversion of biodiverse forests to croplands). Without meaningful innovation, greenhouse gas emissions from agricultural production could increase 58% by 2050. Inevitable Tech grows plants under natural sunlight, leveraging photosynthesis — the 3-billion-year-old process by which plants use energy from the sun to turn atmospheric CO₂ into plant biomass, and the most scalable carbon capture technology on Earth. Inevitable Tech generates 30x more produce per acre and uses 90% less water than field farms.
