Vertical Farming Podcast, episode 176. If this is your first time listening, you're in the right place. It's the show where we interview fascinating CEOs and founders of the leading vertical farming companies from around the world. I'm your host, Harry Duran, co-founder of the AgTech Media Group and founder of Fullcast, our full service podcast production agency and podcaster since 2014 with my first show, Podcast Chunkies. Regular listeners to the show, welcome back. Thank you for everything you do to spread the word about the guests, about the experiences, about something you found interesting and shared with a colleague. We really appreciate it. If you missed last episode, we had round two with Charlie Guy, CEO of Let Us Grow.
And he talked about the evolving landscape of vertical farming and controlled environment ag. He shared insights on how Let Us Grow has adapted to industry changes, and they've shifted their focus from purely vertical farming to integrating advanced aeroponics technology in greenhouses. We talk about their journey and we discuss their transition to serving the greenhouse market and the development of their advanced aeroponic system, and Charlie was kind enough to explain the benefits of the tech, which includes increased yields, reduced water usage, and improved plant resilience. We've also explored the company's community initiatives like the Bristol Basil Company and their efforts to educate the public and policymakers about sustainable farming practices.
His perspective on industry collaboration. production and the future of CEA offers valuable insights for anyone interested in the future of food production. Please listen if you haven't done so already. This week I speak to Taylor Robinson. He's the chief scientist and founder of Rimrock Analytical, and we talk about the critical role of data-driven decision making in indoor farming. His expertise in microbial management and process optimization sheds light, is shedding light on the often overlooked aspects of CEA. We dove into the importance of proactive monitoring and biosecurity plans in preventing costly outbreaks and crop losses. Taylor shares fascinating case studies and including a Pythium outbreak.
I hope I pronounced that right.
