Introduction to Controlled Environment Agriculture The growing, farming and cultivation of cannabis, flowers, fruits, plants, vegetables, grains and herbs in controlled environment settings that allow end users to control key farming variables, including temperature, humidity, CO2, light intensity and color, nutrient concentration and pH. Through CEA, growers are able to be more efficient, effective and sustainable with physical space, water and resources, enjoy year-round and more rapid grow cycles, with more predictable and abundant grow yields compared with traditional growing methods. Hydroponics is the primary category of CEA and we use the terms CEA/hydroponics interchangeably. 88 More efficient land usage Reduced food waste More efficient fresh water usage Lower fertilizer & pesticides usage Chemical runoff prevention HYDROFARM Source: Company information, industry reports CONFIDENTIAL Reduced carbon emissions CEA can grow plants with up to 98% less water than soll based agriculture The yield of vertical farming, a form of CEA, is 20x more than that of outdoor farming per acre Zero chemical runoff 6
