Sprout Stack is transforming agriculture in Australia with its innovative vertical farming approach. Located in Sydney’s Northern Beaches, it operates the country’s only commercial-scale vertical farm. Using hydroponics and LED lighting inside recycled shipping containers, Sprout Stack grows leafy greens such as kale, lettuce, and radishes in a highly controlled, pesticide-free environment. This method minimizes resource usage, using less than 3% of the water required by traditional farming and producing almost zero waste. The farm's automation systems optimize growing conditions, enhancing yield, flavor, and nutrition while reducing environmental impact.
Sprout Stack’s produce is sold locally, including at Harris Farm Markets, ensuring ultra-fresh delivery within 16 hours of harvest and cutting down on "food miles. " Its operations are a model of sustainability, recycling water and upcycling plant substrates for other uses. Sprout Stack exemplifies the future of urban farming, offering a scalable solution to food security and environmental.
