Both sustainable crop production and sustainable energy production are critical technologies to meet the 21st century challenges of population growth and climate change.
So what does this have to do with cannabis?
One company is pioneering a solution to all three: SunPath brings the power of renewable sunlight indoors through fiber optic cables - to increase crop yield and health, while lowering production costs.
