Root AI has been acquired by leading AgTech company and Certified B Corp AppHarvest, which is building some of the world’s largest indoor farms to grow non-GMO, chemical pesticide-free fruits and vegetables.
AppHarvest is making good on its mission to build a more resilient food system. We’re excited to join the company to continue to create the intelligent robots that will help growers build the farms of the future.
Indoor farming represents a massive leap in progress toward true agricultural independence, sustainability, and efficiency. At a modern greenhouse, reclamation of water, digitally controlled light, nutrients, and atmosphere mean that over 20x the amount of crop per acre can be produced with 90% less water than traditional methods.
At Root, we’re pushing the edge of what’s possible. Building a better world will require fresh ideas, determination, and an awful lot of teamwork. If solving hard problems with a tight knit team excites you, check out our careers page.
