Our Company
The science and strategy behind Eight Orbit.
A Controlled Environment Agriculture company engineering year-round food production for Africa — powered by renewable energy, grounded in soil biogeochemistry.
First Farm Site
Kuje, Abuja, Nigeria
Our Mission
“Use cutting-edge innovative engineering technologies for year-round plant and crop production, using a combination of solar and renewable energy to power greenhouses, and ensure zero greenhouse gas emissions across Africa.”
We perform continuous research and development in crop and plant biotechnology while engineering our own indoor farm facilities and research laboratories — increasing output while eliminating crop, fertilizer, and water wastage.
Meet the FounderThe Approach
Five focus areas driving our mission.
From continuous crop R&D to training the next generation of African farmers and scientists — every focus area compounds toward a resilient food system.
01 / Research
Research
Perform continuous research and development in crop and plant biotechnology, and engineer our own indoor farm facilities and research laboratories.
02 / Produce
Produce
Increase production while eliminating crop, fertilizer, and water wastage prevalent in traditional farming — using AI technologies, the Nutrient Film Technique (NFT), limited land, 95% less water, and fewer resources.
03 / Detox
Detox
Eliminate the use of pesticides and herbicides that contaminate air, water, and crops — eliminating the food, water, and airborne diseases common across Africa.
04 / Location
Location
Optimize the food transportation pipeline by locating our indoor farms within the city limits, close to consumers and businesses.
05 / Next Gen
Next Gen
Enrich, empower, and educate the next generations of African farmers and scientists through thousands of jobs, vocational training, internships, and scholarships each year.
Our Goal
The outcomes we are engineering toward.
Beyond our mission lie the tangible results — fresh food inside the city, radical resource efficiency, and a farming system that regenerates rather than depletes.
Fresh, organic, better-tasting, and nutritious crops.
Vertical farms located within city limits for easy access to consumers and businesses across Africa.
Produce cultivated using 95% less water than traditional farming.
Six times greater yield using less land space and resources for greater productivity.
Zero insect infestation with zero use of herbicides and pesticides.
A sustainable and environmentally friendly farming system.
Our Vision
“Develop the largest Controlled Environment Agriculture company in Africa with year-round vegetable, fruit, and staple food production, to meet the daily nutritional needs of the African population.”
Build a reliable, resilient, sustainable, innovative, and dynamic vertical farming industry in Africa to meet the needs of its rapidly growing population.
