Fifth Season has created a different kind of world for our food. Their plants grow up in a happy home, made so by robotics and cutting-edge AI to deliver less waste and more freshness.
The entire Fifth Season team is driven to do right by our planet. By reducing land and water use, they are sowing the seeds toward a more sustainable food system. The indoor farm uses 97% less land and 95% less water than traditional farming.
In order to create an optimal indoor farming environment, Fifth Season needs to ensure cheap, clean and reliable power. Scale’s system allows them to have resiliency and reliability while also reducing their overall emissions and saving them money. Best of all–they aren’t responsible for it. Scale owns and operates the system.
