Edible Garden AG Incorporated (“Edible Garden” or the

environment agriculture (CEA), locally grown, organic, and

production facility to University researchers, who will evaluate
the company's current sustainability initiatives.
“We are proud to partner with the University of Rhode Island on
this important initiative,” said Jim Kras, CEO of Edible Garden.
“This collaboration represents a significant step forward in our
mission to continuously improve our sustainability practices. By
participating in this comprehensive assessment, we are not only
benchmarking our efforts against industry standards but also
gaining valuable insights that will help us set clear, actionable
goals to elevate our sustainability initiatives. Additionally,
beyond enhancing our internal operations, we see this project as an
opportunity to contribute to the broader conversation about the
environmental impact of the greenhouse CEA industry. As stewards of
the planet, it is essential that we share our findings to drive
positive change within the industry.”
Jan-Tia Kern, Head of Food Safety and Quality
Assurance at Edible Garden, added, “We are particularly excited
about the potential to develop educational tools based on this
research that can inspire and educate the next generation on the
critical role sustainable agriculture plays in ensuring a healthier
future for both people and the planet. As the project progresses,
the Company remains committed to transparency and collaboration,
sharing both successes and learnings to help drive the industry
toward more sustainable practices.”
