Its carefully vetted, integrated partners together increase growers’ efficiency, decrease costs, and lend operational expertise to organizations from startups to established enterprises.
Seasoned indoor agriculture executive David Friedman’s vision for GroAdvisor was born after witnessing businesses pour resources into procurement, endlessly searching for cost-effective, impactful products and partnerships.
