Our Sustainability
For those who value what they feed their bodies, and what we feed the earth: Pontus is a healthy and responsible solution.
Rapid growth
Water Lentils are virtual “photosynthesis factories”; because the leaves multiply vegetatively each plant doubles its mass every 48 hours in natural sunlight, creating enormous crop yields. Our bio-secure facility reduces that time to just 16 hours.
Minimal waste
Water Lentils are unique in that 100% of the plant is harvested.
Water efficiency
Our water lentils are grown indoors, where 95% of water used is recycled. Our water quality is monitored and controlled with AI technology.
Low energy consumption
AI and machine learning controls energy usage from the grid to ensure only the necessary amount of energy is produced to operate the facility.
Using natural symbiosis
Our Aquaponic System synergistically combines hydroponics (plants grown in water) with aquaculture (fish farming) in a symbiotic environment. Water is recirculated back to the aquaculture system, establishing a closed-loop system. It is 100% organic.
Leaving a smaller carbon footprint
Our Farms use only 5% of the water required for field- based farming and leaves virtually no carbon footprint. Pontus joins the elite group of market disrupters that don’t accept any other business practice other than sustainability.
