Coffee, chocolate, oranges, berries, and a lot more foods are at risk of becoming harder to grow and even outright scarce as climate change worsens—oh and existing agriculture has lots of negative climate impacts.

  • The origins and mission of Zordi
  • How Zordi’s technology combines greenhouses, robots, and AI for sustainable farming
  • The environmental and economic benefits of local, automated food production
