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.

HUD’s 24-month mass timber modular project goes after the cost driver: shipping the modules

HUD’s 24-month mass timber modular project goes after the cost driver: shipping the modules

HUD is funding a 24-month Washington State University project to redesign modular housing modules around transport and fast site assembly. Shipping is the design constraint. A 2023 Journal of Building Engineering review of 2009–2021 modular CLT projects suggests faster construction timelines, but logistics choices still decide feasibility.

  • 01In modular housing, transportation is becoming a first-order engineering spec, the module that is cheapest to build can still be the most expensive to move.
  • 02The 2023 review found 2D modular CLT projects were, on average, transported farther and built faster than 3D ones, so configuration choice shapes both transport reach and install time.

Insurance and moisture controls now dictate mass timber schedules

Insurance and moisture controls now dictate mass timber schedules

Mass timber can go up as little as one day per floor. But builder’s risk and property insurance can be harder to place and pricier, largely tied to moisture exposure during construction. Metropolis says mass timber is mainstreaming across North America.

  • 01The schedule advantage is real, but it is only bankable if the project has a funded moisture-control plan from mill to dry-in.
  • 02Insurance has become an early design input for mass timber, forcing owners to lock in risk controls and documentation before procurement.
  • 03For mid-rise and campus projects, mass timber’s headline benchmark is cycle time per floor, which shifts schedule risk onto crane picks, staging, moisture protection, and inspection windows.
