vertical farm

Blake Lange of Signify has been lighting vertical farms since the beginning. On this episode of CropTalk #KyleTalksAgtech Blake and I discuss the evolution of LED horticulture lighting, words of cation for buyers and some of our favorite stories (Spoiler: Don't eat the produce if you don't know the companies food safety standard and your lettuce shouldn't be covered in "seeds")

Additional topics include Signify's recent acquisition of Fluence, using lighting to control specific crop characteristic and what is on the horizon for horticulture lighting

What the heck is a sustainability specialist?! What exactly do they do in CEA? Why do I keep seeing job listings for this "new" position within controlled ag. pop up?! In this episode of CropTalk #KyleTalksAgtech I speak with Kindall Brantley, Sustainability Specialist at AmplifiedAg / Vertical Roots.

Our discussion answers the above question while also addressing what exactly is being measured (scope 1 - 3), what to expect in a Sustainability Specialist role, and what the future may look like in regards to carbon footprint and sustainability within our industry.

What does the future of vertical farming look like? Will we be able to grow not only food but medicine in the future using this technology? 

On this episode of CropTalk #KyleTalksAgtech Sam Burtram, CEO of OnePointOne answers these questions and dives deep into some of the industry challenges and his experience developing a team and system to grow vetically using aeroponics. 

Additional topics include the add values of vertical farming for retailers,  the progression of accessible food over time, and how "your engineers customer is your grower."

A few months ago Shenandoah Growers changed their name to Soli Organic. Why did this change happen? What is the leading provide of organic herbs doing to perfect their branding? What does it take to build a strong produce brand in CEA?  On this episode of CropTalk #KyleTalksAgtech Don Helms, Vice President of Marketing at Soli Organic Inc. does a masterful job of answering these questions, explaining what it takes to build a strong brand and the story of how and why this recent name change occured.

What's up to my polymath panthers and purposeful porpoises! 

Welcome back to the BNP y'all, another episode of splendor and glory. It's late and I'm tired, so this summary is gonna be short and sweet.

Let's learn about vertical farming! 

This episode is the first installment in a series that aims to meander down the forest trail of... Utopia. What would Utopia look like? What factors would need to be prioritized in a Utopian society? How would Utopia utilize agritecture to feed its people? This episode aims to address the food security side of Utopia by conveying the concept of Vertical Farming. There are currently several functioning vertical farms in the world, feeding people in big cities as we speak. 

For the purpose of this series, I'm not going to dwell too heavily on the question of whether Utopia is possible. As far as I'm concerned, anything is possible. So we may as well strive for something dope.
