Farm Investing Platform Harvest Returns Partners with Agritecture, An Urban Farming Consulting Firm
Harvest Returns, a farm crowdfunding platform, has partnered with
Agritecture, LLC, an urban farming consulting and digital services firm, to accelerate the urban farming and controlled environment agriculture (CEA) industry across the country. The partnership will provide ag focused entrepreneurs a more accessible way to raise capital.
In 2020, the USDA offered only $3 million in grants for urban agriculture and innovative production. Agritecture says the average startup cost for controlled environment farms modeled via their Agritecture Designer digital platform is $512,000 so there can be a gap in available funding.
