For the last 2 years, I have led a Controlled Environmental Agriculture (CEA) Market Accelerator, a partnership of Energy Technologies Area at Berkeley Lab and Resource Innovation Institute. Today we are releasing one of the major outputs, an online tool for screening potential CEA facility locations called CEA SiteScout. https://lnkd.in/emaU6rBN Thanks to Tyler Huntington, Abigayle Hodson, EIT, Arian Aghajanzadeh, and Robinson Negron-Juarez, among others, who contributed mightily to this work.

🌱 What do you consider to be the biggest breakthrough in crop development so far in 2025? 🌿 What unexpected cultivation challenges have you encountered during a field trial? 🌱 Are there any "forgotten" crops that deserve a revival in modern horticulture, and why? …Three of the many questions that were asked during the ‘new crops’ podcast, recorded at GreenTech Amsterdam this year. Crop experts Henry Gordon-Smith (Agritecture) and Filip van Noort (Wageningen University & Research) talk about experimenting with new crops, forgotten crop types and the challenges they face. From breakthroughs in crop development to the role of AI in optimizing cultivation, this conversation explores how flavour, nutrition, and sustainability are reshaping horticultural priorities. 🎙️ Listen to the podcast here: https://lnkd.in/dPZrXvC8 #Horticulture #CEA #Newcrops #Varieties #Fieldtrial #Forgottencrops

Calling all the space farmers for the SpaceAg Conversations #05! 🚀 Join us for another inspiring conversation in the #SpaceAgSeries. This time, we are pleased to have Omar Bawab as our Guest Speaker in this episode covering "Space farming-related initiatives in the Middle East". Omar is the Co-founder and CEO of iPlant, a Jordanian agritech startup that develops technological solutions to transform urban landscapes into thriving modern food production systems. During this conversation, Omar will share how iPlant’s innovations in hydroponics, automation, and controlled environment agriculture are bridging the gap between terrestrial and space farming — building more resilient and efficient food systems for the future. Together, we’ll explore how the Middle East is becoming a key player in the global space industry, and discuss the farming research, technologies, and collaborations shaping this next frontier in agri-food systems. Don't miss it! 🗓️ Date: November 12th, 2025 🕒 Time: 11:00 AM EST / 5:00 PM CET 💻 Free Online Webinar — Certificate available after attendance 🔗 Registration link in the comments. 👉 Register now to be part of this conversation.
