DLB’s Sustainable Vision: Growing More with Less

4th June 2025

In a world facing rising climate challenges and resource scarcity, De Lettuce Bear Berhad (DLB) is pioneering a transformative approach to agriculture that is not only more efficient, but decisively more sustainable.

At the heart of DLB’s operations lies its indoor vertical farming system, a practice that breaks free from the constraints of conventional agriculture. By growing lettuce and other greens in controlled indoor environments, DLB has successfully minimized environmental impact across multiple dimensions.

Compared to traditional farming, DLB’s method uses 80% less water. A critical advantage in a time when freshwater scarcity is affecting millions globally. This precision irrigation system ensures every drop counts, dramatically reducing wastage while sustaining healthy plant growth.

Land efficiency is another cornerstone. DLB’s vertical farms require 90% less land than open-field cultivation, allowing food production to thrive within urban zones. By building upward rather than outward, DLB conserves natural habitats, reduces deforestation risks, and brings food sources closer to city populations.

The controlled environment not only protects crops from pests, eliminating the need for harmful pesticides, but also enables consistently high yields, with shorter harvest cycles and minimal crop loss. This leads to better economies of scale and contributes to national food security.

Furthermore, the vertical farming model results in significantly less waste and lower pollution, thanks to reduced transportation distances and farm-to-table emissions. This tighter supply chain directly supports lower carbon footprints and fresher produce for consumers.

DLB’s commitment to sustainability goes beyond innovation, it is a mission to harmonize food production with ecological preservation. As environmental pressures mount, DLB stands as a practical and scalable example of how agriculture can adapt and thrive in a greener, more responsible way.

In embracing indoor vertical farming, DLB is not just feeding communities—it is sowing the seeds for a cleaner, more resilient planet.
