Rotary member Mike Thompson will speak to the club this week about his new business growing greens in an indoor vertical farm. Using some unconventional methods to provide water and nutrients, the "farm" grows several varieties of lettuce and herbs. The produce is sold to stores, restaurants, and individuals. The foods produced this way contribute to people eating better; Mike will tell us more about the meaning of "better".
About the Speaker: Mike Thompson is a scientist by training, having earned a PhD in molecular biology. His last 15 years have focused on the application of science at the interface between science and business. Mike says that he is an "entrepreneur by passion", which he's put into practice by leaving his position as a VP at Benson Hill in 2020 to start his own business, Kairos Indoor Ag, which is one of 3 businesses he has founded in the past 3 years.
