[{"type":"text","content":"Marks Third Patent on Proprietary GreenThumb Web-Based Greenhouse Management and Demand Planning System\nBELVIDERE, NJ, Jan. 23, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Edible Garden AG Incorporated (“Edible Garden” or the “Company”) (Nasdaq: EDBL, EDBLW), a leader in controlled environment agriculture (CEA), locally grown, organic, and sustainable produce and products, today announced that the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) has issued a patent related to its Greenhouse Agriculture System, GreenThumb. The USPTO has issued U.S. Patent No. 11,830,088 B2, titled, “Greenhouse Agriculture System,” to Edible Garden AG Incorporated. The patent encompasses methods and systems designed for optimizing various aspects of greenhouse farming, including the planting process, the application of pesticides, and the harvesting of greenhouse crops, such as herbs. The greenhouse system is designed to incorporate the use of sensors and a proprietary learning engine. The data collected from these sensors is instrumental in forecasting the availability of the crops. Additionally, the specialized learning engine is used to gauge and predict the market demand for these greenhouse crops, drawing upon both current and historical order data. Based on this information, the system is capable of formulating and sending out detailed instructions for crop production to a greenhouse computer system, which in turn, facilitates the automated planting or harvesting of the crops. Mr. Jim Kras, Chief Executive Officer of Edible Garden, commented, “This patent further illustrates our commitment to innovation to drive sustainability. The GreenThumb system is not only crucial for enhancing our supply chain effectiveness, which has led to increased shipping and fill rates, as well as significant sales growth, but is also vital in supporting Edible Garden as we integrate new greenhouse facilities like Edible Garden Heartland in Grand Rapids, Michigan. This marks the third distinct patent awarded for our proprietary GreenThumb system, and we are currently in the process of seeking a trademark for the system's name.\" ABOUT EDIBLE GARDEN® Edible Garden AG Incorporated is a leader in controlled environment agriculture (CEA), locally grown, organic and sustainable produce and products backed by Zero-Waste Inspired® next generation farming.
