Sustainability: Growing for a Better Tomorrow
Urban Farms integrates Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) principles into its operations and contributes to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. Our Controlled Environment Agriculture model supports global priorities including food security, water conservation, responsible production, climate action, and ecosystem protection.
Our Environmental Impact
We go beyond traditional farming to ensure our operations leave the smallest footprint possible while delivering the highest quality produce.
Water Savings
Our system reduces water consumption by up to 90% through a closed-loop environment that continuously recirculates nutrients, minimizes absorption loss, and prevents evaporation ensuring every drop is precisely measured, reused, and optimized for maximum efficiency.
Energy Efficiency
Through Controlled Environment Agriculture (CEA) and optimized LED light spectrums, we maximize growth per watt, maintaining a precisely regulated indoor climate while minimizing overall energy waste.
Non-GMO & Pesticide-Free Practices
We exclusively use organic, non-GMO seeds, and because our crops are cultivated in a bio-secure, fully controlled indoor environment, there is no need for chemical pesticides, herbicides, or synthetic fertilizers—ensuring cleaner, safer produce from seed to harvest.
Waste Reduction & Circular Systems
Our data-driven cultivation minimizes resource waste by delivering the exact amount of nutrients each plant needs. We are committed to circularity, focusing on reducing agricultural runoff and maximizing the lifecycle of our inputs.
Carbon Footprint Impact
By growing in the heart of Hamra, Beirut, we eliminate the need for long-distance transportation. This “hyper-local” model significantly reduces CO2 emissions associated with the global food supply chain while ensuring the produce reaches your plate hours after harvest.
Recycling & Responsible Packaging
Sustainability doesn’t stop at the harvest. We prioritize responsible packaging solutions and recycling initiatives to ensure our delivery to the F&B and retail sectors is as eco-friendly as the way we grow.
