No more water to grow
An increasing demand for water while global freshwater sources are increasingly depleting.
No more room to grow
An increasing global population, while urbanization and soil degradation continue to decrease the amount of arable land. In particular there where it is yearned-for.
Unreliable supply
Extreme weather conditions, yield loss, geopolitical conflicts and disrupted international trade are resulting in an uncertain supply of healthy and nutritious food.
Increased customer demands
An increasing customer demand for local, fresh, healthy and sustainable food.
Net Positive is a new way of doing business which puts back more into society, the environment and the global economy than it takes out.

A decade-long partnership with Syngenta has allowed us to acquire vast crop data and knowledge. This experience has resulted in plant growth recipes unprecedented in the industry. Not only to shorten the seed-to-harvest cycle by 50% but also grow produce with an excellent shelf-life, flavor, and nutritional value.
Thinking smart about shortening the supply chain and co-creating with other partners has numerous benefits. We achieved this by creating crop and variety-specific climate conditions without using GMOs; we are plant- and people-friendly! Ready to learn more?

Globally, the most significant climate challenge we’re facing involves water. For the past two years, the True Price Foundation has calculated the true environmental impact of our indoor vertical growth process in collaboration with Wageningen University. Interested?

Washington – The Netherlands has used advances in vertical farming, seed technology and robotics to become a global model. The rallying cry in the Netherlands started two decades ago, as concern mounted about its ability to feed its 17 million people: Produce twice as much food using half as many resources.
The country not only accomplished this feat but also has become the world’s second largest exporter of agricultural products by value behind the United States. Perhaps even more significant in the face of a warming planet: It is among the largest exporters of agricultural and food technology.
‘s-Hertogenbosch, The Netherlands – PlantLab has again obtained its European patent for indoor farming, as recognised by the European Patent Office. The patent applies retroactively from 13 October 2008, the date on which the patent was originally submitted.
In June 2017, PlantLab had already successfully defended itself before the European Patent Office (EPO) against the appeals procedure brought by Signify and Certhon Build BV. To read the whole article, click on the button ‘read more’.
“By including Plantlab herbs in our portfolio, we give our customers an extra-green option. Plantlab grows crops close to home; harvested in the morning, on your plate in the afternoon. Both cutting and the end product are from close to home, not a distant country. Picnic succeeded in removing environmentally harmful steps from the logistics process and Plantlab is doing the same in agriculture.”
“As Plantlab's produce is grown in a closed environment, no pesticides are needed and the product is 100% clean. The produce scores well in terms of sustainability. Compared to a kilo of lettuce from the cold soil, 249 liters less water is needed, whilst the yield per m2 is more than 25 times higher. Our customers also tell us that they love the taste and quality. The fact that the produce has a longer shelf life makes it very popular in the kitchen.”
"Plantlab's products are of absolute top quality. Even as chefs, the lettuce of day ten was indistinguishable compared to day one. Needless to say, we would like to keep that quality on our plate at our topsport trainingcenter Papendal"
We are a fun, multidisciplinary team and always looking for bright talent. From scientists and engineers, crop and production specialists, and all-around go-getters, we are constantly adding to our global network of "Plantlabbers."
