Cannabis growers as a group are more interested in quality and sustainability than most water managers. Indoor growers have a ton of knowledge about water and nutrients and use the knowledge to their advantage. They are managing indoor cultivation scientifically. They perform at a very high level and have a thirst for more knowledge. Cannabis grown indoors yields an average value of $112 per square foot (0.1 square meter), according to a report on indoor farming by Agrilyst, well ahead of greens ($64 per square foot) and strawberries ($22). Agrilyst calculated indoor cannabis production to be 9,000 times more productive on a dollar basis than commercial corn production. The Denver University Law Review calculated a return of 22 cents to $6.67 per gallon (3.8 liters) of water from cannabis grown in Colorado, compared to 2 to 3 cents per gallon ROI from potatoes, another of the state's major crops. This sets up an interesting discussion about the best use of our most precious natural resource, water. As water gets more scarce, should the water go to those who use it most economically or to those who grow food? Jim Lauria will walk us through the opportunities to take advantage of and the pitfalls to avoid. Please join us to learn from one of water's most dynamic speakers.

We decided to kick off the new year, the new decade and our new season with the basics: food. Our guest Allison Kopf, founder of Artemis, set out to tackle a fundamental challenge -how to make sure the world can feed its rapidly growing population in a sustainable way. But Artemis approaches this grand problem in a very nuts-and-bolts way, namely by digitizing the agriculture supply chain so as to eliminate inefficiencies and reduce costs.Moreover, Artemis’ software enables traceability across the supply chain, which means greater security. If something goes wrong, someone gets sick, Artemis’ software will enable you to trace every step where the contamination could have occurred – and without blockchain! We also talk about the specific challenges of traceability in a biological chain, the key role of labor in agriculture and the impact of policy and immigration changes, and the challenges and opportunities for urban farming. This is a great conversation packed with insights on a sector that touches our daily lives like no other. We hope you enjoy it, pass it along and write us a review.In this episode, we also include a brief plug for our new venture, the M4 Strategy Garage. We have created a series of strategic advisory offerings tailored to startups in their growth phase. To learn more, send us a note to StrategyGarage@M4Edge.comhttps://artemisag.com/

Becoming a Senior Engineer with Jamey Hampton TableXI offers training for developers and product teams! For more info, visit http://tablexi.com/workshops or email us at workshops@tablexi.com. Guest Jamey Hampton (https://twitter.com/jameybash): Senior Software Dev at Agrilyst (https://www.agrilyst.com/) and panelist on Greater Than Code (https://greaterthancode.com). Blogs at jameybash.com (http://www.jameybash.com/). Summary On this episode, we're talking about becoming a senior engineer. When you first become a senior engineer, you suddenly have new job responsibilities that aren't coding and they aren't management. It's not clear how to balance your time or evaluate your success. Our guest this week is Jamey Hampton, a panelist on the Greater Than Code podcast and a Senior Engineer at Agrilyst. We talk about how to handle the changing responsibilities and perspective that comes from being promoted even when you're still the same person that you were the previous week. We also talk specifically about hiring as a non-coding responsibility.

What’s the latest in indoor farm tech? Business is growing internationally, companies are hiring, and mushrooms are begin harvested right in the produce aisle. On this episode of Tech Bites, host Jennifer Leuzzi (@MmeSnack) checks-in with past guests Allison Kopf, founder/CEO of Agrilyst (@Agrylist) and Andrew Carter, CEO/Co-founder Smallhold (@smallhold.co).

I first met our guest Allison Kopf, founder of Agrilyst, years ago at a Food Tech event and I’m especially excited about our conversation because it’s a close melding of the two worlds I live in: my day job at an enterprise software company and my main hustle in the world of food.  Agrilyst is a software that allows indoor farmers to analyze data that’s pulled into sensors - everything from temperature, light, CO2 - in one, integrated platform.  This then allows them to bring more stability into their operations and subsequently improve their profitability.  You might think: “Wait what?  Aren’t we already doing that?”.  Not really.   Keeping in mind that most farmers are still tracking things by hand without much data-driven analytics or are keeping data in separate silos, that most farms are barely profitable with long investment horizons, and that we definitely have significant challenges to fix in the coming years when it comes to what we eat, Agrilyst is both necessary and timely.  Everyone should give this a listen whether you’re “just” a software engineer or a hardcore foodie.     Besides talking about Agrilyst - and even if you didn’t care about food (which I doubt since you’re listening to this show) - Allison’s mindset is one we can all learn from.  Trained as a physicist, she approaches problems with critical thought and for those who hate inefficiencies, she says that the thing that gets her out of bed every day is the opportunity to fix inefficiencies.  Nowadays when it’s easy to fall into the trap of a sensationalist story, people like Allison who are able to take a look at the data and apply principles from one field to another provide a refreshing conversation.   We talk about identifying problems to fix and driving focus, creating “magical” products that people will love, why indoor farming is necessary in helping create a food system for the future, and how you can apply skills you’ve learned in one area of your life to a seemingly disparate area.  Again, whatever your background is, this interdisciplinary episode is a must if you’re interested in solving real problems in the world, food or otherwise.     For more information including notes to the show, please visit hiddenapron.com/podcast.

You are affected by agronomy everyday. Really. Anything that is grown – food, textile crops, and green public spaces - are all influenced by the science of agronomy, the practice that looks at agriculture from a holistic POV. With the increasing popularity and viability of indoor farming, agronomy has gone high tech. On this episode, we look at the virtual agronomist platform Agrilyst. It tracks and analyzes all farm data in one place, enabling growers to optimize plant performance and reduce operating expenses. In-studio guest Allison Kopf, founder/CEO of Agrilyst, talks about indoor-farming tech and growing trends for the future. Tech Bites is powered by Simplecast
