Verdical
Challenge
“Farm-to-table” sounds romantic.
In reality, produce often travels long distances, losing freshness and generating waste before it ever reaches the kitchen.
What if we shortened that journey to zero?
Insight
Freshness is about proximity.
By moving cultivation on site, we could eliminate supply chain friction and give kitchens better quality, variety and control over timing.
Design Approach
Integrated Grow Platform
Unites a modular grow tower with compostable seed pods and a data-enabled app to bring cultivation on site.
Human-Centered Flow
The system is designed around how foodservice teams actually work, from onboard pod storage to where they live in the kitchen.
Sustainable Lifecycle Thinking
Compostable components and streamlined logistics reduce waste and environmental impact.
Outcome
Verdical empowers foodservice environments to grow what they need — when they need it.
Fresher produce. Less waste. A more resilient supply chain.
