27. Controlled Environment Agriculture & Technology: Bringing AI Into the Growing Space w/ Danny Ackell
Danny Ackell's love for agriculture began 20 years ago as a flower grower in the Hamptons.
He grew snapdragons, sunflowers, you name it before moving to packaging and learning how to move product on the streets of NYC like a hustler.
Ultimately, he ended up choosing to be a leaf grower because he didn't want to be "another broke farmer."
Founding LeafGrow, he's become one of the go-to experts in a field that two and half years ago didn't even have a Wikipedia article.
That field? Controlled environment agriculture.
Danny came on CropTalk to share his first-hand experience with CEA in special 2 part episode. In part 2, he shares some of the innovations that are being made in the CEA space because of technology and artificial intelligence.
