Scott Massey, founder and CEO of ANU, who discusses the company's unique approach to empowering individuals to grow their own produce at home using hydroponic technologies. ANU's innovative system, likened to 'Nespresso for plants', allows consumers to grow a variety of produce via a modular, hydroponic machine with a monthly seed pod subscription, facilitating year-round harvest with no need for soil, preservatives, or pesticides. Massey shares his journey from working in the oil and gas industry to pioneering in hydroponics research at Purdue University, inspired by NASA's work on growing food in space. The discussion also covers the social, health, and environmental benefits of the technology, including its application in combating food deserts and promoting sustainability by reducing agricultural runoff and water usage. Additionally, Massey highlights the support and resources available for businesses in Indiana, revealing how state programs have supported ANU's development and expansion, including efforts in Africa and collaboration with the Mandela Washington Fellowship. The conversation concludes with a future outlook on expanding the variety of plants ANEW can support, the role of artificial intelligence in optimizing plant growth, and the potential for these technologies to complement traditional farming methods.
