Tweetable Quotes
“I would say that indoor ag in general has benefited more than it has lost from this pandemic, because I think everywhere in the world is really reevaluating how it sources its food. We have this additional burden of Brexit here in the UK. Every part of the world that we've been speaking to, people are thinking about deglobalization relocalization and how that's going to just make things a bit more secure, a bit less dependent on other areas.”
“In most climates, that really does mean having to move stuff that you can move economically and environmentally indoors, and that's tougher in some places than others, but I think it's causing everyone to look much more seriously at the viability of indoor ag in general, whether that's aquaculture or livestock.”
“Our covenant is that we're a tech vendor, you guys are the farmers, you're the growers, you know how to do this stuff. We'll just give you a better set of tools.”
