Indoor Farm Sustainable Operations Assessment

The Center of Excellence offers a confidential and detailed technical survey to assess farm operations sustainability and efficiency.  Our IndoorAgScore (TM) assessment evaluates the use of energy, labor, materials, water and other inputs in consideration of production yields. We also assess other metrics such as job creation, waste management, and the efficiency of capital investment. A sample Sustainable Farm Operations Metrics report summary is provided here.

Indoor Farm Assessment Process

Value of Our Assessment

The assessment includes a complete listing of key performance indicators (KPI’s) in several areas of operational efficiency.

The results of the assessment will be of value to the farm’s senior management.

The assessment will also be of value to investors doing due diligence or reviewing the performance of companies in their portfolio.

As a bonus, all growers using our assessment process are eligible for consideration for our annual “Best in Class” awards upon request.

Next Steps in Building a Sustainable Farm Operation

Building a sustainable farm operation requires a management strategy that promotes learning and continuous process improvement:

  • Assess: Benchmark where you are today
  • Design: Develop a plan for improvement
  • Execute: Implement new designs
