Edible Garden announced that it has joined the Controlled Environment Agriculture (CEA) Alliance, an international trade association dedicated to advancing the interests of indoor vertical and high-tech greenhouse growers. By joining the CEA Alliance, Edible Garden is partnering with growers, suppliers, and retailers to shape the future of indoor agriculture, expanding its role in advancing food safety, sustainability, and innovation across the industry.
The Company's membership also aligns with its ongoing support of Walmart's Project Gigaton, one of the world's largest private-sector sustainability initiatives, aimed at reducing greenhouse gas emissions across global supply chains. As a recognized Walmart Giga Guru, Edible Garden continues to demonstrate measurable progress toward these sustainability goals through its Zero-Waste Inspired® mission and innovative CEA practices.
"As a company deeply committed to sustainability, innovation, and advancing the future of fresh produce, we are proud to join the CEA Alliance," said Jim Kras, Chief Executive Officer of Edible Garden. "Membership in the CEA Alliance provides Edible Garden with a unique platform to engage with other leaders in the controlled environment agriculture industry, share knowledge, and contribute to the development of best practices that will define the future of indoor farming. It also gives us a stronger voice in advocating for policies that support climate-resilient, resource-efficient growing methods, ensuring that the needs of CEA producers are recognized on both a national and global level."
"Our involvement in the Alliance is directly aligned with our Zero-Waste Inspired® mission, reinforcing our commitment to reduce food waste, conserve natural resources, and deliver safer, more sustainable, and more transparent food options for consumers. By joining this influential organization, we are taking another step forward in positioning Edible Garden as a pioneer in next-generation agriculture while advancing the broader goals of the CEA industry."
"We are pleased to welcome Edible Garden to the CEA Alliance," said Tom Stenzel, Executive Director of the CEA Alliance. "Edible Garden exemplifies the values of sustainability, innovation, and consumer trust that define our organization. As the CEA Alliance continues to collaborate with growers and suppliers, we look forward to working with Edible Garden to further promote critical sustainability objectives across the industry."
