Welcome to where goodness is measured

The Orlar ESG Dashboard

Real time. Real life. Real impact. 

Australian goodness, global transformation

Orlar was founded on the principles of sustainable development to overcome the innate problems with agricultural intensification. Using high-tech vertical farming ‘pods’ and proprietary inputs, Orlar has created the world’s most efficient food production technology.

Orlar’s goal is to transform lives and landscapes. This is our commitment to the preservation of native biodiversity, the minimal consumption (and conservation) of natural resources, and improving the wellbeing of people, both in and outside the organisation.

All whilst producing the cleanest, freshest, most nutritious food on the planet!

Orlar agri-tech enables a paradigm shift

Deploying the most advanced agricultural technology within regions at the highest risk from climate change will allow for a massive paradigm shift.  We have the ability to transform lives and landscapes in the most meaningful ways:  

  • through high intensity, high efficiency production of clean, safe fresh food;
  • creating clean, safe jobs for low-income local & ethnic-minority women & men
  • improved health outcomes and zero pollution in sensitive environments
  • leasing land to retain ownership within imperiled communities, and
  • bringing purpose and productivity back to worthless, degraded lands
  • creating high value use of land to facilitate sustainable solar energy and water security, and restore biodiversity to vital regions

Bringing purpose, productivity, life and value back to land

The efficient production of fresh fruits and vegetables with zero pollution also facilitates the sustainable use of land for renewable energy production and restoring biodiversity, and in doing so, overcomes the issue of inter-generational equity often associated with the single use of either.

We don’t just grow food, we grow people too!

Enabling sustainable livelihoods brings dignity,  opportunity, reduces inequality and lifts the most vulnerable out of poverty.

“There are few things as rewarding as providing people with an opportunity and seeing them use that to transform their own lives, their family and community. This is even more rewarding when we are transforming to adapt to climate change. This is humanity’s biggest need and at Orlar we deliver it. It’s the heart of our mission.”

Dr Lyndal Hugo, Founder. Orlar.

Water Use Efficiency

(Litres per KG of Product)

Orlar Technology enables the highest economic value per litre of water, with zero nutrient pollution.

GHG Emissions

(Co2E Tonnes Per KG of Product)

Orlar has net POSITIVE environmental impacts in production… which means, Orlar is Good For The Planet - the more we grow, the greater the positive impact!

Energy Use Efficiency

(KwH per KG of Product)

0.05 %

"of the energy per KG than
typical vertical agriculture,
even in the most unproductive climates"

The most sustainable KwH is the one not generated, the cheapest KwH is the one not consumed. Energy is a cost to people and planet that nobody can afford. Orlar let's demand drive our tech, not energy.

Production Yield

5

Kilograms per SQM per year
(Based on average kg from various crop types including edible flowers, greens, strawberries, tomatoes, herbs)

The efficiency of the Orlar growing technology enables affordable clean food for local people; highest economic value per SQM of land, and therefore less land is required for agriculture.

Empowering Women, Transforming Lives

89 %

Women Employed

Orlar is a women-led company, creating clean, safe jobs for women and men in some of the most vulnerable communities. We don't just grow food, we grow people, too!

Romaine Lettuce

(KG per SQM per Month)

280% Yield Improvements achieved through superior seed quality, and optimized Glass House design.

Residues

After hundreds of independent tests, Orlar achieves zero chemical residues detected on 100% of products.This is not easy to achieve in an environment that is incredibly polluted, per the results of extensive testing on products from the Mekong Delta where no samples were found to be residue free and 59% were ABOVE maximum residue limits. Clean food at the lowest cost, and lowest environmental impact is essential to achieving food security.
