Welcome back to the all-new Vertical Farming Weekly! We appreciate your support as we reach issue #3 of our new newsletter.

In the news this week we have a story about a new vertical farm coming to my home state, Pennsylvania, not too far from where I grew up. It’s great to see what was once a tired area come onto the future of agriculture as we know it.

Make sure you listen to our latest episode featuring Michael Sichenzia, Managing Director at Go Global Advisor, where he and Harry discuss what it takes to launch a successful vertical farm.

Once again, thank you all for your continued support of Vertical Farming Weekly.

Until next week,

Michael Sichenzia - Managing Director at Go Global Advisors. Listen to episode 52 here or wherever you get your podcasts.

Join Harry Duran, host of Vertical Farming Podcast, as he welcomes to the show Michael Sichenzia. Michael is the Managing Director at Go Global Advisors and today, he shares his passion for bringing food to communities and what led him to pursue work in the vertical farming industry.

Specifically, Michael speaks to the intricacies of developing container farms, everything from getting zoning approval from the local or city government to what he looks for when building a team. Michael is highly mission-focused and wants to leave a legacy of making the world a better place, or at the very least trying to. Michael touches on his involvement in the From Mary With Love project, his relationship with Freight Farms and his belief that education about the vertical farming industry comes through empowerment. 

Excited to announce the launch of http://verticalfarmingjobs.com. We’ve been hearing from fans of the show that there was a need to connect employers and job seekers alike.
