Alora

Growing Rice in the Oceans

Alora is creating the sustainable future of food with the world’s first ocean agriculture system. We are solving world hunger with this revolutionary technology set to increase yields, use zero freshwater, and minimal land.

Our patent-pending process is used to restore salt-tolerance to plant varieties from all over the world. We always seek to follow our step-by-step process with locally sourced varieties so we can keep the taste, identity, and cooking style in our final crops, with the simple addition of oceanic level salt-tolerance. Using this process below we hope to restore the potential of our oceans to feed the world.

Alora is company dedicated to solving world hunger. Rory and Luke, our co-founders, often dream of the future and the many paths it could take.

After 6 months of honing the foundations of Alora, under our former name Agrisea, we moved our research operations to Velocity, Canada. Here we focused on developing oceanic salt-tolerant rice, our marine farms, and a stealth bacterial technology with the target of launching our first ocean farm plot in Singapore 2022.

Together, they realised that agriculture was suffering, with limited resources and a clear determination they set to work on imagining what a sustainable future would look like for our world. As such Alora was born.
Set with a clear vision they built the first design and earned a place on the world-renowned accelerator, IndieBio, in San Francisco.
