In about hopefully two years, what we're looking at, as we tie up a few ocean-based pilots, we're looking then to commercialize our ocean agriculture. We have the actual plants themselves, salt-touring crops, which can be any crop that you imagine. And then our third basis of the technology is a bacterial fertilizer that essentially replaces what you would normally have in soil. It's amazing when you remove it. Crop really struggles to produce the yield we know and expect today.
Alora CEO and Co-Founder Luke Young joins Molly to discuss ocean agriculture and the ability to grow crops offshore (1:17). They discuss the progression of engineering that has propelled Alora’s innovations (11:55) and the challenges of growing at sea (21:53).
