Company History
HydroGreen was founded in 2015 with the mission to create technology that successfully feeds a changing world. The company operates under the parent organization, CubicFarm Systems Corp. Since its inception, HydroGreen has been dedicated to developing innovative agricultural solutions that address the growing needs of food production while minimizing environmental impact.
HydroGreen Automated Vertical Pastures
HydroGreen specializes in producing high-energy fresh forage on a commercial scale using their proprietary HydroGreen Automated Vertical Pastures. This technology enables fully automated systems that perform all the necessary growing functions, such as seeding, watering, lighting, harvesting, and re-seeding. This ensures year-round production of fresh forage in a controlled environment with up to 365 harvests annually.
Sustainable Agriculture Technology
HydroGreen's technology significantly reduces the environmental impact of traditional farming methods. The system uses hydroponic sprouting of wheat and barley seeds to ensure optimal nutrition and digestibility. It also reduces methane emissions in dairy cattle by approximately 24% and uses 95% less water compared to traditional crop production. These sustainability features make HydroGreen a pivotal player in advancing eco-friendly agricultural practices.
Certified Partner Network
HydroGreen maintains a Certified Partner Network composed of industry experts throughout the United States and Canada. This network supports the adoption and implementation of HydroGreen's advanced agricultural solutions, ensuring that farmers and agricultural businesses can effectively integrate and benefit from their technology.
Year-Round Forage Production
One of the key advantages of HydroGreen's technology is its ability to produce fresh forage 365 days a year. Unlike traditional farming methods that yield only two harvests per year, HydroGreen’s system allows for continuous and consistent production in a controlled environment, ensuring a reliable supply of high-quality forage.
