Global food supply chains are under unprecedented pressure from climate change and geopolitical tensions, making sustainable and nutritious food sources more critical than ever. With only a small fraction of the global population consuming the minimum recommended phytonutrients essential for health, innovative solutions are urgently needed.

Can scalable solutions in agricultural technology ensure a consistent supply of nutrient-rich foods across the globe, especially in regions facing significant agricultural challenges?

In this episode of DisruptED, host Ron J. Stefanski explores the groundbreaking work of Tsipi Shoham, CEO and founder of GreenOnyx. From her unique background in oncology research to her innovative approach to sustainable agriculture, Tsipi offers insights into how her company is transforming the global food supply landscape.

Her company is transforming the global food supply landscape.

Main Points of Conversation:

  • Quantum Farming and Biomimicry: How GreenOnyx employs quantum farming techniques to create scalable and efficient agricultural solutions.
  • Phytonutrient-Rich Crops: The importance of phytonutrients and how GreenOnyx is pioneering the use of lesser-known, nutrient-dense crops like water lentils.
  • Sustainability and Food Safety: The measures taken by GreenOnyx to ensure their produce is free from contaminants and environmentally sustainable.

Tsipi Shoham began her career as an oncology researcher, specializing in cancer immunotherapy. She conducted her postdoctoral research at Stanford University, where she developed a keen interest in the link between phytonutrients and the immune system. Her transition from cancer research to sustainable agriculture led to the founding of GreenOnyx, where she continues to apply her scientific expertise to develop innovative farming solutions that prioritize health and sustainability.

Jemal and DivcoWest plan 323 apartments inside a 1982 DC office building

Jemal and DivcoWest plan 323 apartments inside a 1982 DC office building

Jemal Real Estate Strategies and DivcoWest plan to convert 1255 23rd Street NW, a 342,000-square-foot Washington, D.C. office building, into about 323 apartments. Madison Realty Capital lent $40 million for acquisition and predevelopment. DivcoWest is the current owner of the property and will retain an equity interest.

  • 01About 323 apartments at 1255 23rd Street NW would come close to the nearly 350 units Jemal Real Estate Strategies has created across its Syracuse and Richmond conversions combined, in a single building.
  • 02An owner of an older office building near transit does not have to exit to get a conversion started: DivcoWest is selling into the venture and keeping an equity interest alongside the new sponsor.

Why a clean-looking aerospace part can still fail a residue test

Why a clean-looking aerospace part can still fail a residue test

Element Materials Technology explains NVR and gravimetric cleanliness testing for aerospace, defense and medical parts in a webinar featuring its Hartford and Los Angeles labs. Joe Moore and Katie Legowski show how a blank analysis, a solvent rinse and a weighed filter patch turn invisible residue into a number against IEST-STD-CC1246 levels, and how AMS 2700 F changed the passivation acid default in 2018.

  • 01Nonvolatile residue testing weighs what a solvent rinse removes from a part, so a film the eye cannot see becomes a pass or fail figure against the drawing.
  • 02IEST-STD-CC1246E, the document that replaced MIL-STD-1246 in 2002, sets residue limits from 10 nanograms to 25 milligrams per 0.1 square meter, and its particle levels count down to 5 microns, far below the 100 micron width of a hair.
