Indoor farming for
ultra high-value crops.
EATS uses regenerative substrates to grow ultra high-value crops like premium saffron, medicinal plants, and nutrient-dense superfoods — locally, sustainably, and year-round.
What We Do
A smarter, substrate-based way to grow.
EATS1 is a modular indoor farming system built for ultra high-value crops such as saffron, medicinal plants, and nutrient-dense superfoods. Instead of water-based setups (hydroponics), EATS uses regenerative, soil-like substrates that create clean and predictable growing conditions.Our plug-and-play modules are simple to operate and fit easily into existing indoor spaces, making them ideal for co-location and year-round production. The system adapts to locally available substrate materials and supports organic-friendly cultivation.By uniting substrate science with modular engineering, EATS offers a scalable growing method designed for premium crop quality.
Early Development
Rooted in
substrate science.
Our work begins in the lab — testing substrates, running early crop trials, and validating how controlled environments support clean and stable growth. These insights shape the EATS system and prepare it for pilot-scale saffron production.Explore a selection of our early substrate tests, crop trials, and biosafety participation.
Why Saffron
An ultra high-value crop
ready for reinvention.
Saffron is one of the world’s most valuable and versatile ingredients, used across food, cosmetics, and pharmaceuticals. Yet about 80% of global production comes from a single region, making supply sensitive to climate pressure, unpredictable weather, and environmental variability. As a result, availability and quality can fluctuate even as global demand continues to rise.EATS uses regenerative, soil-like substrates that support clean and predictable saffron cultivation indoors — independent of climate, season, or geography. This makes saffron an ideal first crop for our system and a strong foundation for early commercial pilots.
