UMAMI is expanding its production capacity fivefold with a new farm in Zurich, funded by a Series A financing round that raised 4.3 million Swiss francs. The farm will utilize an organic recirculation system, requiring 90% less water and 89% less land than traditional greenhouses, and will focus on cultivating microgreens, herbs, and potentially new products like tomatoes and strawberries. Co-founder Denis Weinberg emphasized the growing demand for local, pesticide-free products, which the new facility aims to meet sustainably.
