Seedling LLC, founded in Philadelphia in 2016, converges industry relationships between controlled environment agriculture and embodied energy reclamation within academic-partnered installations. Installations, referred to as SEEDs, transform organic fractionated municipal solid waste (food-waste) through a series of industry-proven processes to extract the biochemical energy and nutrients within a sensor-driven blockchained atmosphere that produces precision organic fertilizers that are crop-specific and soil-responsive. Fertilizers tailored to the soil composition of regional farms seeking organic certification, are sold on a subscription format, combined with brokerage services to regional urban centers. Energy and hydrogen produced onsite is used to power the SEED, including a controlled environment agricultural farm, bioplastic fermentation process, pressed fiber packaging process, and regional hydrogen fueling for the SEED’s supply chain and regional partners.
Each SEED, as an academic extension, provides a real-time classroom for the next generation of urban and rural farmers. As the network of SEEDs grow, the growing portfolio of fertilizer formulations for crops an soil conditions are traded between SEEDs as blockchained intellectual property. Funds generated from formulations are managed by an employee trust that grants scholarships within the SEED network of university partners.
As a public-private partnership, each SEED provides unique value to municipal, academic, industry, and non-profit partners within the operational region of the SEED. Ranging from contractual hydrogen sales, to annual food production, to crisis-responsive energy services, each SEED is designed to serve the needs of each community while working toward decarbonizing waste and transportation systems.
