Just Vertical and NuLeaf Farms Partner to Tackle Food Insecurity

On Feb. 6, Just Vertical and NuLeaf Farms partnered to expand access to fresh, sustainable food through indoor farming solutions. By combining their experience in vertical farming, automation, and controlled environment agriculture (CEA), the two companies will design, install, and service fully integrated indoor farms that operate in all climates.

Partnership Highlights

• Deploying Indoor Farms Across North America – The partnership will bring farming systems to communities in Canada and the U.S., providing year-round access to fresh produce.
• Designed for Harsh Climates – Just Vertical and NuLeaf’s systems are engineered to perform in extreme weather conditions, offering food security solutions to northern and remote regions where traditional farming is limited.
• Exclusive IoT Collaboration – NuLeaf will serve as the exclusive provider of IoT technology for Just Vertical’s large-scale commercial farms, automating nutrient delivery, lighting, and climate control to improve efficiency.
• Hardware Collaboration – Just Vertical will supply NuLeaf with proprietary grow rack systems, enabling flexible, efficient farming solutions.
• Knowledge Sharing and Innovation – Both companies will combine expertise in indoor farming to develop new technologies and optimize growing conditions.

The partnership is already in action, with NuLeaf integrating Just Vertical’s systems into a fully operational farm at the Red Deer Food Bank in Alberta. Just Vertical, in turn, has begun incorporating NuLeaf’s IoT solutions into large-scale farm installations aiming to improve efficiency and automation.
