Tweetable Quotes"The difference between cultures, that there is so much more possible than your own vision or your own way to live. There are much more ways to live and you have a choice and there is a choice." - Lotte van Rijn"Growing is a job. It's difficult to grow, it's a real job. Plant science is difficult. So that's what I told you before the combination between AgTech. It's not that easy that you combine technology and nature and plants." - Lotte van Rijn"For me there is no big difference. And so what I find interesting is I've just now started going to the indoor farming conferences, so I've been to indoor ICON and I'll be at the indoor tech summit in New York City at the end of June." - Lotte van RijnResources Mentioned
