All of F26About Lux Foods
Lux Foods engineers ultra-compact plants that produce mostly fruit, then grows them on sugar with 90% less light. We design the biology and hardware together to make robotic farming easier. Starting with cherry tomatoes, we’re building year-round production of flavorful, nutritious, pesticide-free fruit near the people who eat it. Our tomatoes have been grown on the International Space Station, and now we're taking this technology to Earth.
