GFF - Granot Future Farming
ֿGFF is Granot Group’s innovation and technology division. Its main focus is agricultural innovation and finding ways to secure our future food supplies. GFF focuses on the interface between technology and the environment along the entire food chain. We invest in and establish new companies in collaboration with research and academic institutions, startup companies, government agencies, food and agricultural corporations, and the farmers themselves.
GFF focuses on several main categories:
• Indoor Farming
• Insect Farming
• Climate Farming
• Precision Farming
• Algae Farming
• Biotechnology Farming
GFF - Granot Future Farming
Agriculture in controlled environments
Traditional agriculture requires considerable resources in the form of land, water, and labor, and is exposed to climate change. Controlled and automatic growing technologies can be used to overcome some of these challenges.
Our projects in this category include: Hortica, GreenOnyxs, and Nrgene

Insect Farming
There is now a global race to sustainable sources of protein – both as animal food and food for humans. Insects are currently leading this race. Insects have an astonishing ability to convert organic materials into protein (FCR), using methods that are substantially more efficient than the alternatives. Insect farming is part of a local and sustainable economic cycle.
Our projects include Entoprotech and the Black Soldier Fly project.

Climate Farming
To feed the world’s expected population in 2050, we have to produce 60% more food than is currently being produced, and we must do so while protecting the planet. How is this achieved? We assist farmers and food companies in dealing with this challenge by means of a diverse toolbox that includes, inter alia: consultation services, measurement, technologies and sustainable practices.

Precision Farming
Precision farming assists various players along the food chain in gathering information by means of sensors, analyzing that information, and facilitating administrative decisions, and, in some cases, automatically executing those decisions, and all for the purpose of optimizing the use of agricultural resources (e.g.: precision irrigation), crops, and crop quality.
These projects include Neolytics, Dairyx, Endrip.

Algae Farming
Among all organisms on earth, algae are capable of the most efficient transformation of CO2, sunlight. and water into nutritious food for all animals, biofuel, water purification, and more. Algae grow 10 times faster than terrestrial plants on non-productive soil that cannot be cultivated, such that it does not compete with other crops.
Our algae projects include Project Baralgae.
Our algae projects include Project Baralgae.
Biotechnological Agriculture
Agricultural biotechnologies are a collection of techniques that are used to improve agricultural industries, e.g.: genetic engineering, culture regeneration (plant tissue), and more. Agricultural biotechnology is an important tool in the global effort to minimize food insecurity.
Funds and investments
Granot – through GFF – makes direct investments in startups, venture capital funds and other ventures that are synergetic to the Group’s “agriculture of the future” activity.
