Going to be a sizzling hot stock, but not in the fashion you may think. It looks like this stock is going to just keep chewing up "asks" and inching its way to the top. The one poster who said they are going to get into hydrogen production, might have posted something with HUGE implications for our future and the future of the world. With the new clean green economy before us, FNRC could end up being the surprise of surprises.
Slow and steady wins the race. It could only be a short time till we get to the finish line.
What secrets does our resident mystic hold in his mind when he is quoted saying statements like this:
"When asked about the company's choice of suppliers for this first of many vertical farms, Ed Kroeker, CEO of Foundation Farms stated, "As a company we are committed to becoming known as the best owner operator in the vertical farming business sector."
What does he foresee?
Many vertical farms?
Best owner operator?
New and proven technology?
Certain individuals and groups have succeeded in developing mechanical equipment that generates controlled cavitation?
Working with cavitation technology in other industries?
Unique technologies, which we plan to incorporate in each of our joint venture operations?
Vertical Farming Systems revolutionary in the industry?
The above underlined quotes are words taken directly from news releases where Ed Kroeker, our great resident mystic, had spoken. Seriously, what secrets does that mind of his contain? If we could only crack open the mind of a mystic - the treasures we would find! Keep watching GMEV for the revelation of some of those deep dark secrets, it could be quite profitable for you and your loved ones. And who are those individuals and groups? And what other industries? So many questions, so few answers. That's why we will keep probing into the mind of our mystic.
I think you hit the nail on the head. Triple 0's will be single 0's.
Great news release, love the part about "By adding its own E-ROOTS package to the foundation, the company has already signaled its leadership agenda to the industry"
You're welcome.
This E-Roots technology is more impressive than I originally thought. I think this one line is particularly important. It could have definite implications outside of the urban farming industry:
"The oxidation power created by the combination of hydrogen peroxide, the free radicals, and the intense thermal energy released destroys organic contaminants that build up in the water over time."
Could this technology be used for cleaning up water contaminated by oil (organic) spills? I will see what I can find out without making a pest of myself.
Hi Ed
This may be of interest to you, and it sounds very similar to what cavitation can do to the water, are you able to clarify what our E-Roots technology is capable of doing to improve the quality of water bathing the roots of plants?
Good morning XXXX
Thanks for the article.
Hydrogen peroxide is a good oxidant and biocide. For your info, the proprietary E-ROOTS system produces its own hydrogen peroxide and in just the right amounts—not too much to kill everything but just enough to stop the growth of pathogens and other pesky organisms that create clogging in pipes, nozzles, etc. To explain a little more here’s what happens when cavitation of water occurs — the astronomically high release of energy released during cavitation causes the “destructuring” of water molecules. Firstly, all water molecules will “cluster" together in a given body of water. The amount of clustering that occurs depends on various chemical factors in the environment. When it comes to plant uptake of water, it makes sense that the smaller the clusters, the easier it is for the water to pass into the roots. Cavitation breaks down these clusters and therefore makes it easier for plant roots to take in the water and the nutrients dissolved in the water. That’s benefit number 1.
Secondly, the “destructuring” also tears apart some of the individual water molecules into H+ and OH- ions, some of which reform into H2O2 molecules (i.e. hydrogen peroxide). The OH- ions are also referred to as “free radicals” and these free radicals even have a higher disinfecting power than hydrogen peroxide. That’s benefit number 2.
Thirdly, the cavitation reactor that is the core of E-ROOTS is equipped with an air injection port and so with the use of a small air compressor to provide compressed air it is possible to supersaturate the circulated feed water with oxygen. For example, conventional hydroponic systems that bubble air into the feed tank cannot achieve an oxygen concentration higher than 14 mg/l. With cavitation induced air injection, I have measured oxygen concentrations of 40 mg/l or higher in the water. That’s benefit number 3.
Lastly, the oxidation power created by the combination of hydrogen peroxide, the free radicals, and the intense thermal energy released destroys organic contaminants that build up in the water over time. The buildup of contaminants necessitates the periodic dumping of recirculated water and nutrients in all hydroponic and aeroponic grow systems. Cavitation will provide continuous treatment and removal of many of the contaminants thereby reducing significantly the need for periodic dumping of the nutrient rich recirculated water. That’s benefit number 4.
Mother nature always does things right and cavitation is one of those natural events that we have put into a man-made package.
Cheers,
Ed
The mystic has spoken, I got a response to my hydrogen peroxide inquiry, but before we get to that response I would like you to ponder these words of wisdom as a sort of preparation for the words of wisdom from our great resident mystic. You see if your mind is not prepared it may BLOW from an information overload:
The Hole-y Bucket
by Gopal Dada
A student approaches the teacher with the question, “Could you help me with a question I've been struggling with -- what is the purpose of my life?”
The wise teacher responds, “We’ll get to that in time. Until then, why don’t you first fill this drum with water from the river down below this valley.”
He then hands him a dirty, greasy, mud wrapped bucket with lots of little holes in them to use as a medium of transfer.
The diligent student does as he’s told. He walks all the way down the valley, fills up this "hole-y" bucket, walks all the way up to the drum that lays beside their shack. Deeply immersed in the act of doing the task, he doesn't notice how much water leaks through the holes.
Days pass. Months pass. And the drum is yet to be filled.
Frustrated and tired, the student approaches the teacher: “I’ve been filling this bucket for the past so many months, and the drum is nowhere closer to filling up. I don’t know how I will ever find an answer to my question!”
With a kind heart, the teacher takes the student's hand and walks him down to the valley. The same path that the student took every day to fulfill his impossible task. Pointing to the beauty on the path, the teacher then explains, "A few months ago, this was barren land. Now, see, it is a blooming garden. Every day that you carried water in your leaky bucket, you didn't realize it but you watered this land. Now you can see the spring of little bulbs of grass and flowers."
Then he holds up the bucket and adds, "When I first gave you this bucket, it was greasy, mud-covered, dirty inside and outside. Each time that you carried the water in it, a little of the dirt and grease got washed off."
Without any further explanation, the student understood. The answer to his original question sprung forth from within his heart, "I'm like that bucket, with a purpose of filling the drum. I may not be able to see how I'm being cleansed, or all the saplings I've accidentally watered, but someday, a kind hand will help me see the blooming garden. I'll understand that every leak has its own divine purpose. Then, I'll just act without regard for outcomes or purpose. I'll simply serve with joy."
Reddit Traders Declare ‘BioWar’ as Shorted Biotechs Soar
This could be an interesting development for HTBX.
Bloomberg) -- BioCryst Pharmaceuticals Inc. blew past a five-year high as Reddit investors rallied around a call to start a “#BioWar” on the bears behind a heavily-shorted biotech that develops rare disease drugs.
The stock, which recently ended development of an experimental therapy for Covid-19, rallied to close 39% higher on Monday after a poster on Reddit’s WallStreetBets forum called it “the most undervalued stock in the market” while another said a brewing #BioWar was “about sticking it to the shorts in a massive way.”?
Biotechs with little to no revenue have long been the focus of short bets on Wall Street and could emerge as a new focal point for small-time investors railing against elite hedge funds. But the battleground is an already crowded arena with hedge funds positioned on both sides.
Indeed, BioCryst is a short target with about 17% of float, or $259 million, sold short, according to financial analytics firm S3 Partners. But it’s also a hedge fund pick held by the likes of Citadel, the well-known biotech outfit Baker Bros. Advisors LP, and activist investor Alex Denner’s Sarissa Capital Management.
Before Monday’s rally, shares of BioCryst had already shrugged off the scuttling of a Covid-19 trial supported by the National Institutes of Health. The company is expected to generate less than $31 million in revenue for all of 2020.
Novavax Inc., another heavily-shorted biotech, has also garnered interest across chat forums, which could benefit funds like RA Capital Management and Perceptive Advisors, which hold stakes in the company. The stock has more than doubled in the past few trading days, albeit on late-stage positive results for its Covid-19 vaccine candidate. The short position on Novavax stands at $1.5 billion, according to S3.
Throughout the pandemic, biotechs racing to find the next Covid-19 treatment or vaccine have captured the imagination of retail investors. Dynavax Technologies Corp. added another $436 million in market value on Monday on news it had both initiated a mid-stage Covid vaccine study with one partner and that the U.K. had exercised an option to order more inoculations from another Dynavax partner using the company’s adjuvant.
Inovio Pharmaceuticals Inc. also soared Monday after Twitter users jumped on a filing over BlackRock Inc.’s stake in the company. One tweet said BlackRock had doubled its position, although Bloomberg data show the stake is virtually unchanged.
Meanwhile, the motivations behind Monday’s 131% rally in Healthier Choices Management Corp. powered by Reddit was unclear as Twitter users said it was an opportunity to send hedge funds “on the run.” Short interest in the sub-penny stock, which makes vaping products and operates health food stores in Florida, appears non-existent however. The micro-cap’s largest holders were its management team.

I expect this to be an explosive month with that little warm up of $9 in January. This stock is a $50 stock as killer T-cells are the ultimate fighting machine in the body.
On-site production of hydrogen peroxide provides solution against biofilm.
Clogged drippers and biofilm in the irrigation system led to non-uniform irrigation and thus uneven growth in the tunnels and greenhouses of Danish berry grower Hunsballe Grønt.
Ever since he’s started adding ultra-pure peroxide to the irrigation water, these problems have disappeared.
Even more remarkable is that this ultra-pure peroxide is not brought to the grower’s greenhouses – it is generated on-site. “A perfectly safe and fully autonomous solution,” says Ziv Gottesfeld, CEO of HPNow, the company that has created the solution to generate the ultra-pure hydrogen peroxide on site.
Hydrogen peroxide
While hydrogen peroxide has proven very effective for the treatment of irrigation water, the current supply chain presents serious hazards to the horticultural industry, says Ziv. “Growers require relatively small amounts of hydrogen peroxide, yet the chemical is typically produced in large chemical plants and packaged at high concentrations in large containers.” High concentration hydrogen peroxide is also explosive. “Having large containers of high-concentrate hydrogen peroxide in a greenhouse is both inefficient and hazardous,” Ziv adds. “That’s where HPNow comes in. We can bypass the supply chain and produce the hydrogen peroxide exactly where and when it’s needed, at the low and safe concentrations required.”
HPNow manufactures its hydrogen peroxide generators (branded HPGen) for multiple applications, of which horticulture is one. More specifically, HPNow manufactures autonomous systems that produce ultra-high purity hydrogen peroxide (Peroxide UltraPure™)directly on-site using only water, air and electricity. The grower is thus able to produce hydrogen peroxide in exactly the right quantities and at low and safe concentrations.....

FOLKS I SENT AN EMAIL ON THE ABOVE INFORMATION TO OUR RESIDENT MYSTIC (Ed Kroeker) TO SEE HOW IT COMPARES TO OUR E-ROOTS TECHNOLOGY. ONE THING IS FOR CERTAIN, THIS TECHNOLOGY OF BATHING ROOTS IN OXYGEN ENRICHED WATER IS IMPORTANT. I WILL POST A RESPONSE IF I GET ONE.
Hydrogen peroxide is a chemical compound with the formula H2O2. In its pure form, it is a very pale blue liquid, slightly more viscous than water.
Hydrogen peroxide is a mild antiseptic used on the skin to prevent infection of minor cuts, scrapes, and burns. It may also be used as a mouth rinse to help remove mucus or to relieve minor mouth irritation (e.g., due to canker/cold sores, gingivitis).
Ladies and gentlemen, it has started......the movement of indoor farming companies from the private markets to the public markets.
"Agrify Corporation (AGFY), a developer of highly advanced and proprietary precision hardware and software grow solutions for the indoor agriculture marketplace, today announced the pricing of its upsized initial public offering of 5,400,000 shares of common stock at a price of $10.00 per share for total gross proceeds of $54 million, before deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and offering expenses payable by Agrify. The shares of common stock are expected to begin trading on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol “AGFY” on January 28, 2021."

BUCKLE UP YOUR GMEV SEATBELT CAUSE INVESTORS WILL BE HUNTING DOWN INDOOR FARMING STOCKS, WE GONNA BE GOING FOR A RIDE
One area of vertical farm production that Hernandez said growers can be profitable is producing transplants or starter plants.
“I’m convinced based on economic studies that we have done in my lab, using vertical farms or indoor growing is economically viable for growing transplants or starter plants,” he said. “Growing transplants is a very economical way to successfully adopt vertical farm production. These starter plants (tomatoesare a high value product and they can be grown under very high density in vertical farms, even higher than they can be grown in a greenhouse. These transplants are inserted into the current supply chain and will be sold to greenhouse and field growers who will produce the end products.”
Hernandez has started a transplant vertical farm, Grafted Growers, with his business partner John Jackson. Hernandez said growers looking to produce transplants in vertical farms should choose crops considered to have the highest value.
“These would be transplants that benefit the most from being grown indoors,” he said. “The clean controlled environment of a vertical farm can ensure a very high germination rate and a lot of plants can be produced in a small area. The controlled environment of vertical farms also provides a desirable outcome including finished plants that flower sooner or plants that have more dry mass.”

But we have gone up 600% since late November, ahhhhhh not too worried about the 14%
and only 22 million shares....and a pipeline of technology ready to be commercialized.......$50 per share or bust
HTBX will hit $50 per share, and nobody is going to stop that from happening.
good stuff
Good move, anything under $7 is a steal, will probably close above $7 today.
Good prices for taking a position.
Get some good thick leather gloves on, like I have, and you can catch that falling knife. Cause if you do your homework properly, about the company, management (Ed Kroeker - they mystic), and industry, you will see that the future is with GMEV and that the knife will turn around instantaneously and
you will profit quickly and substantially.
PS did you not read my post about mystics and Ed Kroeker? They know the future and he's at the helm of this ship. Nothing to be afraid of. Heck if you cut your hand cause you didn't wear thick leather gloves trying to catch the knife, he probably knows of some herbal medicine or salve to heal the wound quickly and safely.
It looks better than it did when it was .0052. This is a great opportunity, why would you say it does not look good? Do you prefer to buy at .005? No way man this is awesome prices. The guys who sold at .004 and above are loving it and buying back their shares with money left over for groceries.
I believe we are at a turning point in history with the 2's going bye bye forever.
Stock coming back to life, hope everyone has filled their boat with cheap shares. I don't want to hear anyone complaining when this is in the pennies that they should have bought more.
Article in Red Deer Advocate:
Company to set up indoor vertical farm in Red Deer
A new era of farming is on its way to central Alberta.
Foundation Farms Corporation, a subsidiary of GME Innotainment will be building an indoor vertical farm at a warehouse in Red Deer this year.
In a press release, the company said they hope to see the farm go into production in the second half of 2021. They are leasing 2,000 square feet of a 15,000 square foot warehouse to build the farm.....
.....“We are also assembling plans for additional innovative agriculture ventures that continue the theme of sustainability and local sourcing of food products for today’s consumers. The ability to establish our E-ROOTS vertical farm alongside our new manufacturing and assembly plant provides the opportunity to leapfrog our growth.”

Found this on stocktwits. It has grown from 69 followers to 593 followers. It is quite active.
Stock had a healthy pullback to the 200dma trend line, where it bounced off to close slightly above it. This technical pattern is a good sign that we have hit the floor, now it just becomes a "when do we rally again?" I feel it won't be long.
Too much growth associated with this company and industry.
From the list of "The 10 Biggest advantages of vertical farming", this is my number one reason why I like and support vertical farming companies and the vertical farming industry:
[color=red]Vertical farming also helps to improve biodiversity because it does not cause land surface disturbance, which helps the natural animal population which lives in and around farms to thrive.
[/color]
This is the missing link that I have been looking for. Thanks for posting that angle. I believe FNRC is going to get financial support from clean energy financiers to develop hydrogen fuel. Since methane (CH4) is a good source of hydrogen, FNRC can participate in the up and coming hydrogen economy especially if the energy source for stripping off the hydrogen from the carbon atom is clean.
This stock is some serious opportunity. Load up as I believe it is going to penny land.
The 10 BIGGEST advantages of vertical farming
It's now possible to produce large and consistent quantities and quality of food using revolutionary vertical farming methods. But are there enough indoor farming advantages to make it the future of modern agriculture?
In this article, we'll examine why vertical farming could have a big role to play in the future of global food production.
1. Reliable year-round crop production
The biggest vertical farming benefit is the fact it's not dependent on the weather - meaning you can achieve a consistent year-round crop production without worrying about the impact of adverse weather conditions can have both on quality and profiling of production and yield.
Farming in a protected, well-monitored and managed environment brings assurance and peace of mind for growers providing repeatable programmable production.
By eliminating the effects of mother nature, there's no such thing as a 'seasonal crop' and growers won't suffer from losses as they try to push the production windows of 'seasonal cropping'.
They can also successfully reduce harvest times and improve volume without compromising on flavour or quality, which always remains 100% consistent. Indeed, flavour and shelf life have consistently been able to demonstrate improved attributes when using an indoor vertical growing system, when designed and managed correctly.
This allows commercial growers to confidently commit to the delivery schedules and offtake agreements demanded by their customers.
2. Unaffected by adverse weather conditions
Growing in a fully enclosed and climate-controlled environment completely eradicates the need to rely on - or worry about - the weather.
Whereas crops in a field can be ruined by excessive rain, wind and drought (or pests!); vertical farming provides 100% harvest certainty.
3. Better use of space
It goes without saying that traditional farms need fertile arable land. But vertical farms can be designed and built in any climate or location - irrespective of weather conditions or temperature extremes.
And because their stacking grow systems allow them to expand upwards, it's also possible to achieve higher productivity on a small land area.
Depending on which crop is grown, one acre of vertical farm could consistently grow the equivalent to between 10 or 20 soil-based acres.
4. Minimise water usage
One of the main vertical farming benefits is that the Hydroponic growing process only uses about 10% of the amount of water, and as a result the nutrients and fertilisers, compared to traditional methods. Because the water is clean after usage, it also allows it to be recycled and reused, reducing costs and minimising waste.
5. Environmentally friendly
Indoor farming can be good for the environment because it massively reduces the amount of fossil fuels needed for farming equipment which is not required to sow, fertilize, weed or harvest crops.
Vertical farming also helps to improve biodiversity because it does not cause land surface disturbance, which helps the natural animal population which lives in and around farms to thrive.
6. No chemicals or pesticides
Growing food in a vertical farm, when managed correctly offers the opportunity to completely eliminates the need for pesticides - as pests cannot enter the controlled environment to cause crop damage and fungal diseases struggle to gain a foot hold as humidity levels are managed.
The end result is a product which is better, healthier, safer and featuring dry leaves which are clean and ready to eat.
7. Reduce transport costs
When it comes to food production, the last-mile delivery is usually the most expensive part of the supply chain. And it's not uncommon for crops to be shipped across continents and oceans.
Growing food closer to where the consumer lives is a massive vertical farming benefit as it can massively reduce transportation costs, CO2 emissions and reduce the need for refrigerated storage - making produce fresher and more profitable.
8. Highly energy efficient
Whilst the use of LED lighting requires a significant amount of power to achieve optimum growth, vertical farms can also generate power.
At Cambridge HOK, we specialise in renewable technologies and combined heat and power (CHP) solutions which can harness excess energy to be reused elsewhere in your business or transferred back to the national grid.
9. Safe for staff
Traditional farming has gained an unwanted reputation for being a workplace fraught with health and safety risks. With no heavy machinery or chemicals used for indoor farming, it obviously does not boast the same occupational hazards - significantly reducing the risk of injury.
10. Low labour costs
Fully automated indoor growing systems do not need huge amounts of manual labour to achieve successful year-round production. People with low-level skills are still required to sort and pack harvests, but labour overheads will remain low - even if production is scaled upwards.

I believe you are absolutely correct:
Hydrogen Production and Distribution
Although abundant on earth as an element, hydrogen is almost always found as part of another compound, such as water (H2O) or methane (CH4), and must be separated into pure hydrogen (H2) for use in fuel cell electric vehicles. Hydrogen fuel combines with oxygen from the air through a fuel cell, creating electricity and water through an electrochemical process.
Production
Hydrogen can be produced from diverse, domestic resources including fossil fuels, biomass, and water electrolysis with electricity. The environmental impact and energy efficiency of hydrogen depends on how it is produced. Several projects are underway to decrease costs associated with hydrogen production.
There are a number of ways to produce hydrogen:
Natural Gas Reforming/Gasification: Synthesis gas, a mixture of hydrogen, carbon monoxide, and a small amount of carbon dioxide, is created by reacting natural gas with high-temperature steam. The carbon monoxide is reacted with water to produce additional hydrogen. This method is the cheapest, most efficient, and most common. Natural gas reforming using steam accounts for the majority of hydrogen produced in the United States annually.
A synthesis gas can also be created by reacting coal or biomass with high-temperature steam and oxygen in a pressurized gasifier, which is converted into gaseous components—a process called gasification. The resulting synthesis gas contains hydrogen and carbon monoxide, which is reacted with steam to separate the hydrogen.
Electrolysis: An electric current splits water into hydrogen and oxygen. If the electricity is produced by renewable sources, such as solar or wind, the resulting hydrogen will be considered renewable as well, and has numerous emissions benefits. Power-to-hydrogen projects are taking off, where excess renewable electricity, when available, is used to make hydrogen through electrolysis.
Renewable Liquid Reforming: Renewable liquid fuels, such as ethanol, are reacted with high-temperature steam to produce hydrogen near the point of end use.
Fermentation: Biomass is converted into sugar-rich feedstocks that can be fermented to produce hydrogen.
A number of hydrogen production methods are in development:
High-Temperature Water Splitting: High temperatures generated by solar concentrators or nuclear reactors drive chemical reactions that split water to produce hydrogen.
Photobiological Water Splitting: Microbes, such as green algae, consume water in the presence of sunlight, producing hydrogen as a byproduct.
Photoelectrochemical Water Splitting: Photoelectrochemical systems produce hydrogen from water using special semiconductors and energy from sunlight.
The major hydrogen-producing states are California, Louisiana, and Texas. Today, almost all of the hydrogen produced in the United States is used for refining petroleum, treating metals, producing fertilizer, and processing foods.
The primary challenge for hydrogen production is reducing the cost of production technologies to make the resulting hydrogen cost competitive with conventional transportation fuels. Government and industry research and development projects are reducing the cost as well as the environmental impacts of hydrogen production technologies. Learn more about hydrogen production from the Hydrogen and Fuel Cell Technologies Office.
Distribution
Most hydrogen used in the United States is produced at or close to where it is used—typically at large industrial sites. The infrastructure needed for distributing hydrogen to the nationwide network of fueling stations required for the widespread use of fuel cell electric vehicles still needs to be developed. The initial rollout for vehicles and stations focuses on building out these distribution networks, primarily in southern and northern California.
Currently, hydrogen is distributed through three methods:
Pipeline: This least-expensive way to deliver large volumes of hydrogen is limited as only about 1,600 miles of U.S. pipelines for hydrogen delivery are currently available. These pipelines are located near large petroleum refineries and chemical plants in Illinois, California, and the Gulf Coast.
High-Pressure Tube Trailers: Transporting compressed hydrogen gas by truck, railcar, ship, or barge in high-pressure tube trailers is expensive and used primarily for distances of 200 miles or less.
Liquefied Hydrogen Tankers: Cryogenic liquefaction is a process that cools hydrogen to a temperature where it becomes a liquid. Although the liquefaction process is expensive, it enables hydrogen to be transported more efficiently (when compared with using high-pressure tube trailers) over longer distances by truck, railcar, ship, or barge. If the liquefied hydrogen is not used at a sufficiently high rate at the point of consumption, it boils off (or evaporates) from its containment vessels. As a result, hydrogen delivery and consumption rates must be carefully matched.
Creating an infrastructure for hydrogen distribution and delivery to thousands of future individual fueling stations presents many challenges. Because hydrogen contains less energy per unit volume than all other fuels, transporting, storing, and delivering it to the point of end-use is more expensive on a per gasoline gallon equivalent (per-GGE) basis. Building a new hydrogen pipeline network involves high initial capital costs, and hydrogen's properties present unique challenges to pipeline materials and compressor design. However, because hydrogen can be produced from a wide variety of resources, regional or even local hydrogen production can maximize use of local resources and minimize distribution challenges.
There are tradeoffs between centralized and distributed production to consider. Producing hydrogen centrally in large plants cuts production costs but boosts distribution costs. Producing hydrogen at the point of end-use—at fueling stations, for example—cuts distribution costs but increases production costs because of the cost to construct on-site production capabilities.
Government and industry research and development projects are overcoming the barriers to efficient hydrogen distribution. Learn more about hydrogen distribution from the Hydrogen and Fuel Cell Technologies Office.
You might get your wish today, but only after they let the profit takers get out of the way. Beautiful trading patterns. Remember folks buy the dips. It will prove to be a very very profitable maneuver.
Is Urban Farming Set For Growth: Alison’s research revealed that vertical farming was coming up short on her criteria for potential over the near-term because the nascent industry lacks publicly traded companies with scalable business models. Over the longer-term, Alison believes that vertical farming will be a booming industry and she is waiting for a better opportunity to invest in the sector.

Another good lead for GMEV management / investor relations
Controlled environment agriculture (CEA) — predominantly consisting of greenhouses, vertical farms, and container farms — has been gaining ground.
Two trends contributing to this increased popularity are technological advancements and renewed customer interest in where food is grown. With regards to the second of these, while Covid-19 has been devastating on many counts, a bright spot is that individuals and families are taking more time to understand where, and how, their food is being farmed.
While interest in building CEA farms is clearly there, the pathway to actual development is not as clearly plotted. I posed this question to leading industry experts. To paraphrase, each of the experts cited three factors of a successful CEA farm’s creation:
1. Operational expertise
2. Distribution
3. Capital
