Podcast Description –  “Our ability to ship something to the public had more to do with our ability to get support internally from our team”.

The podcast titled ‘Unlocking Opportunities’ speaks about the role of technology in agriculture, food production space, and how technology can augment the human side of farming which is otherwise incredibly challenging. Additionally, it speaks about the future security of food, its impact on consumer health, and the impact of improvement in food quality on pharma communities.
