Imagine- Pesticide & Herbicide Free Food Production for Everyone, Everywhere, 365-days of the Year
How are we going to solve the world’s food and water security problem? We’ve lost 30% of earth’s arable land over the last 40 years. We’ve contaminated 70% of our freshwater with agricultural contaminants from herbicides, pesticides, and fertilizers. AND, given the UN’s population growth trajectory for the next 20 years; we will need to grow 50% more food by 2050.
David Rosenberg, Founder and CEO of Aerofarms has a revolutionary, zero-pesticide, zero-herbicide solution that is truly transformative for local and global agriculture. In our interview, he shares with us how Aerofarms is helping solve the food desert problem in developed countries, like the United States. He shares with us how he is solving the food waste problem within the supply chain. And, he shares with us how his plant whispering botanists are optimizing plant growth in a soil-less, sun-less environment, everywhere, 360- days of the year.
