April 18, 2022, Miami, Florida. 

Ground-breaking Miami start-up, Cultivato, is delighted to bring the world’s first vertical farming NFT to OpenSea. Unlike highly volatile NFT offerings, the Cultivato collection offers unique long- term investment potential. Each of our NFTs correspond to plant sites in our vertical farming facility. By linking the NFTs value to physical assets in a rapidly growing industry, we empower investors to grow their wealth alongside the success of our start-up.

Cultivato produces better quality food that feeds more people, faster. By growing crops in highly urbanized, indoor environments, we take advantage of available space to maximize crop yield. At our core we are driven by sustainability. Our soil-less systems allow us to grow entirely pesticide-free crops an average of three-times quicker than traditional farms while reducing water usage by 95%.

At Cultivato, we redefine farm-to-table, by growing food within our target market. We want people to be able to see where their produce comes from. Our hyperlocal approach allows us to cut out the middlemen, eliminate transportation costs, and deliver freshly picked food at a competitive price. In collaboration with local community members, we aim to strategically blanket major urban areas with vertical farms that will provide access to fresh produce.

Vertical farming is reinventing the world of agriculture as we know it. Investing in Cultivato’s pioneering innovations at an early stage is not only highly lucrative, but also environmentally crucial. The UN projects that we lose 23 hectares of arable land every minute to drought and desertification. Unsustainable farming practices accelerate this trend! Considered alongside the expected global population in 2050 of 9.2 billion, the outlook is alarming. The consensus is that global agriculture production must increase by 70% from current levels to support the population in 2050. To meet these goals, vertical farming will become an absolute necessity.

By purchasing a Cultivato NFT, you are investing in the future. As we grow, we aim to diversify our digital offerings by linking our NFT collections to competitive metaverse games and environmental

impact trackers. By building your virtual farm you can diversify your investment portfolio all while supporting Cultivato’s mission to improve access to fresh, affordable produce across the world.

Our platinum-tier NFT is an ethical investment that facilitates the growth of 15,120 plants per year! Platinum NFT buyers will receive a one-time delivery of fresh produce from our vertical farm as well as exclusive Cultivato merch. In addition, investors will become part of the Cultivato Club, which organizes farm tours and premier social events worldwide.

We would love to hear from you and hope you will join us on our journey to growing the future! OpenSeaWebsite Instagram Email

Emerging technologies are always ripe with new ideas and investments. While we believe that growth above profit mindset could potentially lead to impressive long-term outcomes, such an approach is ultimately shortsighted. All companies should aim to be good stewards to their staff and the planet while simultaneously maximizing profitability.  

 

“At Cultivato we believe that the secret to success lies in the crops being grown.”

We fear that the current vertical farming industry is functioning within a bubble. Companies are being flooded with cash in the hope of long-term market dominance instead of focusing on short term operations. Since the majority of startups fail within the first ten years, the vertical farming industry may be in trouble. While facility and labor costs may generally be high in our industry, at Cultivato we believe that the secret to success lies in the crops being grown. In this respect, we can learn from the electric automaker, Tesla.

Tesla’s growth and profitability have skyrocketed in recent years largely due to Elon Musk’s operational master plan. Produce high-cost and low-volume luxury cars and gradually transition into affordable, mass-market vehicles. By starting with a luxury product, Tesla was able to accelerate the cost-reduction of core technologies and achieve market dominance. 

 

At Cultivato we seek to apply the same approach to vertical farming 

  • The current industry focus produces the least expensive crops with the most expensive processes and technologies. A crop like lettuce can cost upwards of $40 a head to produce, yet is being sold to consumers at $4 after retail markups. This is not conducive to long-term growth and presents significant economic risk. 

  • When investors pump the brakes on the steady cash flow that is keeping most vertical farming operations in business, we fear the entire industry is at risk of implosion. Given the increased possibility of an economic downturn, minimizing volatility should be a key consideration. 

 

Accelerating the world to a sustainable viticulture farming future.
