What is Gaia?

Gaia Project Australia (GPA) is a pioneering DeepTech startup dedicated to advancing autonomous leafy green cultivation within the Controlled Environment Agriculture (CEA) sector, encompassing both greenhouses and vertical farms.

Our mission is to democratize Agtech by delivering a streamlined, cost-effective solution that empowers CEA growers to maximize the efficiency of their infrastructure. At the heart of our innovation is a patented ‘adaptive’ planting technology, which allows for high-density crop cultivation. This unique approach not only significantly boosts yields but also offers an affordable alternative for growers, making advanced farming techniques accessible to a broader range of agricultural enterprises.

By leveraging our cutting-edge technology, GPA is committed to transforming the agricultural landscape, ensuring sustainable, efficient, and high-yield food production for the future.
