Edible Garden AG Incorporated , a leader in controlled environment agriculture (CEA), locally grown organic produce, and sustainable agri-innovation, today announced its membership in the Controlled Environment Agriculture (CEA) Alliance, an international trade association dedicated to advancing the interests of indoor vertical and high-tech greenhouse growers.

Through this collaboration, Edible Garden joins a global network of growers, suppliers, retailers, and policy leaders shaping the future of indoor agriculture. The partnership reinforces the company’s leadership in food safety, sustainability, and innovation, while strengthening its advocacy for climate-resilient and resource-efficient production systems.

The move aligns with Edible Garden’s ongoing support of Walmart’s Project Gigaton—one of the world’s largest private-sector sustainability initiatives—focused on reducing greenhouse gas emissions across supply chains. As a recognized Walmart Giga Guru, the company has demonstrated consistent progress toward these sustainability benchmarks through its Zero-Waste Inspired mission, integrating waste reduction, circular economy principles, and advanced data-driven CEA practices.

“As a company deeply committed to sustainability, innovation, and the future of fresh produce, we are proud to join the CEA Alliance,” said Jim Kras, Chief Executive Officer of Edible Garden. “This membership gives us a powerful platform to collaborate with fellow industry leaders, share knowledge, and contribute to the development of best practices that will define the future of indoor farming. It also strengthens our voice in shaping policies that support resource-efficient, climate-smart production at both national and global levels.”

The CEA Alliance represents greenhouse and indoor growers of fruits and vegetables, working with retailers, academics, and governments to advance sustainable production through advocacy, education, and collaboration. Its mission is to ensure CEA-grown produce plays a central role in building a resilient, transparent, and resource-efficient food system.

“We are pleased to welcome Edible Garden to the CEA Alliance,” said Tom Stenzel, Executive Director of the Alliance. “Edible Garden exemplifies the innovation and integrity that define our members. We look forward to working together to advance shared sustainability and consumer trust objectives across the industry.”

By joining the Alliance, Edible Garden continues to position itself as a pioneer in next-generation agriculture, reinforcing its vision of delivering safer, fresher, and more sustainable produce to consumers while driving transformation across the CEA ecosystem.
