Key takeaways

01

GreenOnyx uses clean, efficient indoor farming to grow Wanna, a highly nutritious aquatic plant, at scale.

02

The technology targets the global nutrition gap and food security vulnerabilities exacerbated by climate and geopolitical crises.

03

Scalable agricultural innovation like GreenOnyx's model could transform how the world sources and distributes essential nutrients.

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.
