It Scales Horizontally

In traditional biologics, scaling up means scaling big: larger
tanks, larger facilities, higher capital investment. It’s linear,
expensive, and inflexible. If one facility goes down, the
whole supply chain is at risk.

With plant-based systems, scaling is modular.
You don’t need to double the size of your reactor. You just
grow more plants.

• Need more doses? Add more greenhouse beds or
hydroponic trays.
• Facing regional demand spikes? Replicate the grow
system at a local site.
• Need redundancy? Distribute production across
geographies to mitigate risk.

This makes plant-based biologics inherently resilient—
more like networked data centers than monolithic factories.

It’s not scale-up. It’s scale-out.

It Can Be Localized

Because edible biologics don’t require massive, centralized
infrastructure, they can be produced close to where they’ll
be consumed.
