A Hydroponic Basil Plant is the USDA Certified Organic innovation launched by Edible Garden AG Incorporated, uniting precision hydroponics with traditional organic farming to deliver freshness with a sustainable twist. The living, root-on basil plant is designed to cut food waste and reduce water use by up to 90% compared to conventional farming. This new product aligns with Edible Garden’s Zero-Waste Inspired® mission, catering to modern consumers’ demand for transparency, clean labels, and eco-friendly practices.

Featuring vibrant, shelf-friendly packaging, the plant is grown locally year-round in controlled environments, ensuring flavor, shelf life, and reduced food miles. CEO Jim Kras emphasized the offering as a milestone in both the controlled environment agriculture (CEA) sector and organic produce space — delivering climate-resilient, waste-reducing solutions without sacrificing quality or taste.
