Leading fuel and convenience retailer in the US, 7-Eleven, Inc., have announced a new venture with Plenty Unlimited Inc., an innovative leader in indoor vertical farming, to further its commitment to sustainability through the availability of fresh, sustainably grown produce in 7-Eleven locations throughout California.
This is a significant step for 7-Eleven in providing customers with high-quality, locally grown produce that meets rigorous sustainability standards. Plenty's industry-leading indoor vertical farming technology not only creates fresh produce that can be harvested with peak-season flavor year-round but also champions efficiency and environmental stewardship.
Their certified pesticide-free leafy greens use just 1% of the land typically required by traditional farms to achieve yields up to 350 times greater per acre. Plenty's innovative approach also significantly reduces water usage by up to 90% compared to traditional farming, employing only a fraction of the water per kilogram of leafy greens produced.
