on a mission
to feed the world
the smarter way
OUR STORY
Co-founders Ben Lee and Paul Millett, established InvertiGro in 2017 with the mission to “feed the world the smarter way".
​
At the time of conception, indoor vertical farming was (and in many respects still is) in its infancy. The need for, and benefits of, indoor vertical farming were evident .. however the solutions were often debated or dismissed due to their high cost of capital, high operating costs and their complexity to establish and optimise. So, rather than simply be a me-too, InvertiGro set out to innovate solutions that address the issues commonly associated with indoor farming.
​​
With a talented team by our side and farms on three different continents (and expanding by the day!), we have come along way since then ...
We are modern-farmers in the true sense of the word; innovating to design, deliver and support practical solutions that enable others to sustainably and profitably grow just about anything, anywhere, anytime, at any scale.
