TerraSphere Systems (www.terraspheresystems.com) is dedicated to building highly efficient systems for growing organic fruits and vegetables in a controlled indoor environment. TerraSphere's clean technology helps to promote the sustainable consumption of natural resources by accelerating plant production and maximizing crop yields, while improving environmental footprints through the reduction of carbon emissions and fuel use associated with traditional crop production and distribution. TerraSphere's unique, environmentally and socially-responsible business model helps to facilitate job creation and diverse, community-based workforces. TerraSphere believes its technology can potentially revolutionize access to organic produce for both remote and urban communities, alleviate land management issues for agricultural producers, and ease hunger crises for the world's growing population

TerraSphere's Vertical Farming facilities will be located near major population centers in an indoor, contamination-free growth environment, for the production of fresh local and consistent fruits and vegetables. Plants are housed in vertically stacked growth modules, which are placed next to a perpendicular light source to grow plants without the use of pesticides or other chemicals. The controlled indoor system allows for the production of foods 12 months 365 days per year and in any location, regardless of climate, enabling increased food production and reduced-food unit cost when compared to traditional farming measures.

The proprietary TerraSphere technology is the indoor agricultural growing system that provides the most dependable ROI and consistent cash flow because it:

• Can readily produce many crops on demand in order to adapt to changing consumer tastes and trends
• By growing in a controlled indoor environment TerraSpheres Vertical Farming crop growing technology provides a solution to the rapidly increasing food costs related to rising transportation, fuel costs, and climate changes. 

TerraSphere promotes sustainable agriculture:

• We are a solution to surging global population growth and finite fossil fuel and food supplies
• High density Vertical Farming production uses fewer resources to produce more food 12 months 365 days per year.
• Reduces global transportation/CO2 emissions/Global Warming 
• Reduces energy consumption in the production of food 
• Improves human health and promotes food and energy security

Key selling points: 

• Local grown fresh produce delivered daily using local labor force
• 50x normal production of field agriculture
• Uses 95% less water than that needed for traditional farming
• Significant operating and capital cost savings over field agriculture, no pesticides, no tractor, no combines, no waste.
• Drastically reduces transportation costs to market allowing the grower to keep the margin otherwise spent on transportation.
