🏙️🌱 Vertical farms can be more than food factories—they can be civic infrastructure. The award-winning VerticLA design reimagines farming in the heart of LA, but turning vision into reality takes more than bold ideas. At Agritecture, we help make it feasible.

🌿 Did you know 99% of wasabi in the U.S. is fake? 👀
Real wasabi is rare, hard to grow, and incredibly valuable — selling for up to $160/lb.

Now, indoor farms like Cai Foods are changing the game by growing authentic wasabi using high-tech vertical farming. Controlled climate. Hydroponics. LED lighting. AI. The works.

This isn’t just a foodie flex — it’s a glimpse at the future of agriculture.
📈 Big flavor. Big margins. Big opportunity.

🤖🌱 AI is transforming Controlled Environment Agriculture (CEA) — but are we ready for it?

From predictive climate control to automated growing decisions, AI is no longer the future of farming — it’s already here. But how it’s used (and who benefits) depends on voices like yours.

💬 That’s why this year’s Global CEA Census puts AI in focus. We’re asking growers, tech providers, investors, and innovators to weigh in. Your insights will shape how the industry adopts AI responsibly and effectively.

🧠 Whether you’re an early adopter or AI skeptic, we want to hear from you. The 2025 CEA Census is live now.

A New Chapter in Our Story

Leading urban agriculture companies Agritecture and Blue Planet Consulting are proud to announce their merger. The new entity, Agritecture LLC, will be better suited to pioneer the optimization of food cultivation in urban environments.

The Agritecture platform was founded in 2011, beginning as a blog curated by the founder, Henry Gordon-Smith. The platform focuses on urban agriculture design, aiming to juxtapose the present and future of the sector, inspiring new entrants to the movement and guiding them towards success. In 2014, Agritecture launched its first design workshop, bringing interdisciplinary professionals together in person to collaborate and co-learn through a design sprint. Now in 2017, there have been nine Agritecture Design Workshops in nine different cities.

Blue Planet Consulting was co-founded in 2014 by Henry Gordon-Smith and by angel investor Jeffrey Tucker. Since inception, Blue Planet has serviced over 30 clients on their various urban agriculture projects. Blue Planet’s primary consulting service has been feasibility studies for indoor vertical farms and greenhouses, with notable past projects including Farm.One, Square Roots, and Project Farmhouse.

“This merger reinforces our commitment to a creative and practical approach to urban agriculture,” explains Gordon-Smith, “It adds value to our clients by enhancing our ability to consider project feasibility from both perspectives.”
