What We Do
We are a market-changing AgTech company on a mission to solve global gaps and inconsistencies in nutrition, food safety and security through the transformative power of data.
Joined together on a mission to improve health and wellness, Oracle Co-founder Larry Ellison and acclaimed physician and scientist Dr. David Agus formed Sensei Holdings, Inc., including Sensei Farms and Sensei Retreats, on the Hawaiian island of Lāna’i. Sensei Holdings, Inc. has bifurcated its agriculture and leisure travel units. The farms division now operates as Sensei Ag.
Guided by the incomparable capabilities of our founders, Sensei Ag develops and deploys cutting-edge agricultural technologies to build a better, more stable food supply that is capable of feeding our entire world nutritionally-relevant, delicious, affordable meals.
We follow three operational pillars to finally making closed environment agriculture affordable. First, we use modular components in our production processes to quickly and efficiently deploy the highest performing technologies. Second, we implement each of our technologies in a form factor agnostic manner, growing plants in the environment best suited for each crop. Third, through a combination of partnership, collaboration and acquisition, we significantly reduce the time needed to build large-scale indoor farms, ensuring the relevance and freshness of all of our technologies.
We are currently piloting our growing techniques at Sensei Farms Lāna’i, which has the capacity to produce over a million pounds of food per year, all in less than an acre of space and with 90% less water than traditional farming. We will take the learnings of our pilot farm on Lāna’i across the globe and bring hyper-local, nutrient-rich, affordable food to developed and emerging economies.
Sensei Ag is the present and future of farming that will support human health and wellness for decades. Driven by data, grounded in science, focused on wellbeing.
