  • Did you know produce nutrient levels have been dropping for 70 years.
  • I created a prototype with First Principles to solve this in 2022
  • VC $ funded a diff approach... which have now failed. So I had to keep at it.
  • My solution solves many others problems as well...
  • I’ve open sourced it after making prototypes, CAD files, 3D renders, branding, etc.
