Overview of Business

VertiGenix is revolutionizing agriculture in Southern Africa by pioneering sustainable, year-round production through cutting-edge vertical farming technologies, including aeroponics and hydroponics. We specialize in the development of vertical farms growing strawberries, lettuce, and herbs, making healthy, sustainable food more affordable and accessible.

Addressing critical issues like food security, water scarcity, and unsustainable farming practices, VertiGenix offers a solution to the challenges posed by a growing population and limited arable land. Traditional agriculture struggles to meet demand while conserving resources, but our innovative methods grow fresh, chemical-free produce using 90% less water and no soil—reducing environmental impact and promoting sustainability.

Through these technologies, we not only produce high-quality food year-round, but we also help minimize food loss, conserve natural resources, and create sustainable employment. Our mission is to transform the agricultural landscape, promote healthier living, and build climate-resilient communities across Southern Africa and beyond.
