DENVER, Sept. 24, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- FarmBox Foods LLC and New Alternative Green Energy, Inc. (New A.G.E.) announced the signing of a partnership that will provide food security to underserved communities and support initiatives related to clean energy and environmental stewardship.

FarmBox Foods is a Colorado-based manufacturer of tech-driven, controlled-climate farms housed in shipping containers, and New A.G.E. is a veteran-owned technology company with a portfolio of patented solutions aimed at improving global quality of life.

The containerized farms will be used to produce approximately 100 million servings of nutrient-dense food for people and animals over the duration of the partnership in 450 strategic locations throughout the world. Representatives from both FarmBox Foods and New A.G.E. are attending Climate Week NYC, the largest annual climate event of its kind, from Sept. 22-29, to discuss the companies' missions and how they fit into larger sustainability goals.

FarmBox Foods brings its agricultural technology to food deserts throughout the world, empowering individual communities to grow their own nutritious food, eliminating supply chain issues and climate-related disruptions, and reducing emissions and other impacts associated with farming and food transport. FarmBox Foods will participate in extended collaborations with other sustainability-oriented companies in New A.G.E.'s portfolio.

"This is disruptive technology that has the ability to change the status quo for the better," said Rusty Walker, CEO of FarmBox Foods. "We're eager to work alongside New A.G.E. to collectively make a difference in the world."

New A.G.E. is launching large-scale hydrogen infrastructure projects focused on making the clean energy more accessible. It also plans to create farm-to-table communities, known as agrihoods, in record numbers as part of broader economic development initiatives.

"These neighborhood villages offer residential living with a farm-to-table focus for families seeking a lifestyle centered around simplicity and sustainability. Residents connect with the land, get to know their neighbors, and enjoy confidence in and control over their source of food," the New A.G.E. website says.
