Can Indoor Vertical Farming help reduce our emissions? A chat with &ever CSO Mark Korzilius
02/24/21 • 35 min
I'm a big fan of the concept of Indoor Vertical Farming, so when I came across the company &ever I reached out to their CSO, Mark Korzilius and asked him to come on the podcast to tell me more about their operations.
&ever is a startup in the vertical farming space with a large operation in Kuwait, some interesting hyperlocal operations in Germany, and a larger plant (sorry, bad pun!) opening in Singapore.
I loved that in this interview with Mark, he was very realistic about the advantages of vertical farming - not promising that it will save the world, but rather giving a sober, studied view of its advantages, and the huge advantages they bring.
As you can probably tell, I thoroughly enjoyed our conversation. I hope you enjoy listening to it too.

Climate, geopolitics, and supply chain risk - a chat with Jacob Shapiro
So much of what's happening in the climate space revolves around geopolitics that I thought it might be interesting to bring an expert in to talk about that.
So, I invited Jacob Shapiro to come on the podcast to talk about these issues. Jacob is the Founder and Chief Strategist at Perch Perspectives, as well as the host of the Perch Pod podcast.
As we covered the supply chain risk implications of geopolitics in the podcast, I published a lightly edited version of this conversation (less climate info, more supply chain data) on the Digital Supply Chain podcast.
But we covered off its of other climate related topics in this chat too.
As you can probably tell, I thoroughly enjoyed our conversation. I hope you enjoy listening to it too.

The potential of big data and environmental sustainability - a chat with IBM's Jacob Dencik
Data is the new currency we're told (some people call it the new oil, I refuse to use that expression given the negative connotations of being associated with oil!).
Given that, I'd be remiss not to have an episode of the podcast dedicated to talking about how data, and big data can help with the climate crisis.
To that end, I invited Jacob Dencik to come on the podcast. Jacob is the Economic Research Leader at the IBM Institute for Business Value, so who better to discuss this with...?
We had a fascinating conversation, I thoroughly enjoyed it. I hope you enjoy it too.

Climate Confident - Can Indoor Vertical Farming help reduce our emissions? A chat with &ever CSO Mark Korzilius
Transcript
But liberating fields from growing unnecessarily salads outdoors and making these fields available, and these good soils available for other protein rich crops is something where we can be of great benefit as we go vertical. And we can easily grow on 1000 square meter 18,000 square meter of growth space.
