“MATHEMATICS ALLOWS US TO GO BEYOND OUR INTUITIONS AND EXPLORE TERRITORIES OUTSIDE OUR REACH”Cédric Villani
We are re-thinking what agriculture should look like in a WORLD WHERE WATER IS SCARCE, CLIMATE WILL CHANGE, PEOPLE LIVE IN CITIES, and we’re waking up to the DANGERS OF PESTICIDES and the LOSS OF NUTRIENTS IN FOOD.

“I’ve created 5 companies. Registered 24 patents. My life is a continual search for innovation. I’m always asking myself what more I can give, what new progress I can make.
I’ve come to the realization that mankind can no longer be satisfied with just improving returns.
The driving motivation must be a different and more holistic one: to create while preserving the future, to safeguard coming generations, not to have to ask our children for forgiveness.”

ONO EXPONENTIAL SAVINGS
No sun needed. No soil needed. No water (just a drop). ONO/EF is ahead of the curve in every way: productivity, sustainability, safety, automation, social impact, scalability. The only human intervention is in defining the outputs of the self-sufficient system; all farm operations are automated including required input refills, servicing and maintenance operations
-95% LESS WATER
(compared to traditional agriculture)
-80% of LABOR COST
for running the farm
-70% LESS ELECTRICITY
(than Jurassic vertical farming)
100% AUTOMATION
(ONO/EF level of automation)

BEYOND THE PARAMETERS OF ORGANIC AGRICULTURE.
ONO Exponential Farm redefines quality standards, beyond the specifications of the organic food chain. Thanks to the optimized dosage of nutrients and light and the absence of pesticides, ONO/EF products are of the highest quality and have impressive nutritional and sensory properties.
Consumers are increasingly interested in proof of product origin and sourcing records. We are fully traceable. High quality and nutrition are key factors for consumers when choosing produce.
Agropreneur = visionary able to change the world.
Anywhere there is an indoor space, in the center of the city or even underground, an ONO/EF farm can put down its roots. ONO/EF redesigns the geography of crops, making them possible even where there is an impossible or unpredictable climate outside. Agropreneur, a new cultural and business paradigm.

FARMER IN A WHITE SHIRT.
ONO/EF requires ZERO agronomic/biotech skills. ONO/EF is a clean revolution/evolution; due to the prefabricated setup of the farm, with the robotic support installed, and the machine-learning algorithms and recipes/routines/experiences shared in the cloud, an innovation entrepreneur can quickly launch their own ONO/EF project and get it operational without any special expertise in the agricultural sector.

ONO/EF IS THE BEST POSSIBLE INVESTMENT
IN THE HIGH TECH SEGMENT.
In many parts of Europe, mass-market retailers are testing the installation of indoor farming systems to harvest and sell their “home-grown” vegetables directly in their stores. This is an answer to the rising demand for healthy, organic and locally grown produce (particularly in advanced economies, such as Europe).
Over the last few years investments in indoor vertical farming have continued to grow (VC funds totaling $730m between 2010 and 2018). The size of investments and the interest of important private and public investors are evidence that the industry is showing signs of maturation.
We have resolved the causes of non-sustainability
of the existing concept (Jurassic vertical farm)
and gone much further.
• Profitability: lowering costs and raising quality.
• Certainty of the outcome: ONO/EF guarantees the quality of the product
and also the quantity (regardless of weather conditions, etc.)
• Workforce intelligence: ONO/EF modifies your current workforce needs.
• Future investment: savings on water, energy, workforce.
• Uniqueness of the product
• Cost saving compared to traditional Vertical farming
