Local Bounti's mission is to revolutionize agriculture, ensuring accessibility to fresh, sustainable, locally grown produce for generations to come. The company envisions a future where transformative innovation and technology combine to enable locally grown produce with minimal food miles, ensuring the freshest and most sustainable offerings for communities everywhere.
By building a network of local greenhouses powered by its patented Stack & Flow Technology®, Local Bounti is reducing food miles, slashing waste, and ensuring that the freshest produce reaches tables, often within 24 hours of harvest.
"Local Bounti was established in 2018 by our co-founders who brought extensive experience in scaling growth companies to the controlled environment agriculture (CEA) sector," begins Kathleen Valiasek, President, Chief Executive Officer, and Chief Financial Officer. "The market is vast, and by 2050 the demand to feed ten billion people will be real. At Local Bounti, we're growing smarter, faster, and fresher to meet the demand head-on."
Local Bounti's hybrid facilities use 90 percent less land and water while producing year-round, ensuring higher yields per square foot with fewer resources. By striving to grow within 400 miles of consumers, the company cuts transportation emissions and reduces food waste, ensuring fresher locally sourced produce.
