Two leading controlled environment agriculture (CEA) services companies have announced a partnership. Agritecture, which offers CEA planning, research, and strategy services, and Greener Crop, which offers data-driven hydroponic farm management solutions, are teaming up to make it easier to launch and operate greenhouses in the United States and the six countries that comprise the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC).
Agritecture has helped more than 500 clients in 50+ countries plan controlled environment farms through expert consulting services and through a digital farm modeling platform, Agritecture Designer.
Clients will benefit from the unique farm modeling capabilities of the Agritecture Designer platform plus Agritecture’s Partner Network during the planning phase of their journey. As the farm is built, Greener Crop will support the development of a crop strategy, the procurement of growing supplies, and finally, the operation of the ready farm.
“Our partnership makes a ton of sense for both companies. Together, we will be able to offer our clients a full suite of services from initial business planning through to assistance with facility operations,” says Greener Crop Founder & CEO Alexander Kappes.
“With this partnership, Agritecture is moving beyond its core competency of planning farms to be able to help its clients operate farms through Greener Crop’s Farming-as-a-Service solutions,” says Agritecture Founder & CEO Henry Gordon-Smith.
Agritecture will help Greener Crop expand from the GCC market into the United States. Meanwhile, Greener Crop will strengthen Agritecture’s existing presence in the GCC. This is also the first of several new service provider partnerships that Agritecture will be adding to its Partner Network in the next few months.
“It’s important to highlight our shared values of honesty and transparency. Through Agritecture Designer, we will continue to find ways to make CEA data and best practices more accessible, and this partnership is another path through which we can achieve this goal,” adds Gordon-Smith.

About Greener Crop
Greener Crop provides farming-as-a-service and operates farms across the U.A.E., Qatar, and Oman. Our team of farm managers handles the entire farm operations and is supported by crop sales, procurement, and horticulture specialists. Our goal is to enhance the competitiveness of any farm by centralizing procurement, sharing resources and sales channels, and applying best practices across all aspects of a farm’s operations.
The Greener Crop team can take over a farm’s entire operations, from seeding to sales. Still, our involvement can also be scaled back to remote management, where we support by improving growing procedures, procuring growing supplies, and developing crop strategies.
