Sustainable Farming Jobs | Tech Jobs for Good

The coffee industry is not sustainable. Current coffee prices don't provide a living income to most of the world’s farmers, causing instability and enduring poverty. The coffee industry creates significant carbon emissions, disproportionately affecting farmers through climate change. We can meaningfully reduce the climate impact of the coffee industry by advocating for the widespread adoption of electric and distributed roasting to reduce our carbon footprint. We can support long term economic health for farmers by paying coffee farmers equitable prices and investing in farm communities where we source coffee.

Vegetable oils have been linked to weight gain, diabetes, cancer, cognitive decline, heart disease, autoimmune disease, and more. They increase risk of death by 62% — more than heavy drinking or moderate smoking — and are a leading cause of deforestation and climate change. Zero Acre Farms is replacing the most problematic part of our food system with oils and fats that don't make us sick or destroy the planet. And we’re doing it by introducing a new category of healthy oils and fats, made by fermentation, not deforestation.

We are committed to bringing local produce to cities using sustainable farming practices to minimize our environmental impact. Our hydroponic growing systems efficiently recirculate water, growing produce with 95% less water than conventional field farms. We repurpose existing urban infrastructure, like empty parking lots, and use upcycled shipping containers to construct our farms, reducing our impact on the land. We grow more food using fewer resources. And because our produce arrives in local stores within hours of harvest, we minimize the impact on the environment both in our supply chain and in the surrounding area.
