Manage episode 469651494 series 3320577
In this special roundtable episode of CropTalk, I’m joined by industry experts Marco de Bruin (de Bruin Consulting), Chris Higgins (Hort Americas), and Adam Greenberg (IUNU) to break down the current state of Controlled Environment Agriculture. As the industry reaches a pivotal moment, we dive deep into the complexities of operational mastery versus technology, the shifting landscape of investments, and the pressing challenges of workforce development.
We cover everything from navigating tariff impacts and energy costs to the future of vertical farming. Is modular expansion the key to sustainable growth? Can the U.S. develop CEA hubs to compete on a global scale? And what does it really take to build a profitable CEA operation today?
