The Burke Farm
Agricultural supply chains around the world are rife with labor violations, including child labor and forced labor. The International Labor Organization currently estimates 13 percent of all adult forced labor and 70 percent of all child labor globally occurs among agriculture workers.
This project is the result of years of learning from the pioneers of sustainable architecture and regenerative farming. The design of our off-grid greenhouse—specifically the "Earth Battery" and climate-looping systems—was deeply inspired by the innovators who first proved that we could partner with the earth to create year-round warmth. We believe in honoring the experts and visionaries whose work paved the way for our mission.
