Edible Garden AG Incorporated, a leader in controlled environment agriculture (CEA), locally grown, organic, and sustainable produce and products, today announced the preliminary results of Brisea Group Inc.'s Nanobubble Demonstration Project at the Company’s Belvidere, New Jersey facility. Conducted in partnership with Brisea, the New Jersey Commission on Science, Innovation, and Technology (CSIT), and the New Jersey Institute of Technology (NJIT), the project has demonstrated significant improvements in crop yield, efficiency, and sustainability.
Nanobubble technology works by enhancing water oxygenation, improving nutrient uptake, and strengthening pathogen control. The demonstration at the Company’s facility has confirmed previous findings from the USDA and EPA, showing that nanobubbles improve plant uniformity, accelerate growth, and create a healthier root environment.
Key Findings from the Nanobubble Trial:
– Up to 55% increase in yield compared to traditional irrigation methods
– 30% reduction in harvest cycle time, allowing for faster production
– Enhanced plant health, including reduced biofilm in irrigation systems and stronger root development.
"These preliminary results reinforce our confidence in the transformative potential of nanobubble technology to revolutionize sustainable agriculture,” commented Jim Kras, CEO of Edible Garden. “The noteworthy increases in yield and reductions in harvest cycle time demonstrate the tangible benefits of this cutting-edge innovation, aligning perfectly with Edible Garden’s mission to optimize controlled environment agriculture while maintaining our Zero-Waste Inspired® farming principles."
"By integrating nanobubble technology into our irrigation systems, we are not only improving efficiency but also reducing resource consumption, which is critical in today’s agricultural landscape. This technology enhances water and nutrient delivery while simultaneously addressing key challenges such as biofilm buildup and root health—factors that directly impact plant vitality and productivity. The fact that the equipment payback period is under three months makes this an incredibly attractive and scalable solution for growers everywhere."
"As we move forward, we are excited to continue working with Brisea, CSIT, and NJIT to further validate and refine this promising technology. Our mission is to drive innovation in sustainable farming, advancing solutions that strengthen food security, reduce environmental impact, and deliver fresher, cleaner, and more responsibly grown produce to consumers. We look forward to exploring ways to expand the application of nanobubbles across our operations and beyond, as we strive to set new industry standards for efficiency, sustainability, and food safety."
