By: CBS News – June 5, 2023

acquisition was reviewed by the Committee on Foreign Investment in the

“Is Indoor Leafy Greens Cultivation Profitable?”
By: Vertical Farm Daily – June 7, 2023
"I was invited by the other OptimIA researchers to use mathematical models that take into consideration the biology and technical parameters to determine the potential revenues and costs.
