Industry

One legal protection put those thirteen ahead of $112 million in secured debt, and it applies to anyone selling a perishable crop wholesale.

This Week's Stories
Lighting & Biofortification
A red cabbage trial crossed two dials, and the combination that maximised pigment was not the one that maximised yield
International
A hundred square feet of racks is reportedly out-earning most market stalls, and the arithmetic behind the headline deserves a second look
Operations
A vertical farm with more orders than it can fill is up for sale, and the owner named the reason in one sentence
Grants
A grower just won public money to turn the trays she cannot sell into a product that keeps for months
Also in this week's full issue: all thirteen suppliers named with the exact amount each was paid, the four lenders holding $112 million of secured debt, the two claim deadlines every unpaid vendor now has, the 18-watt setting that moved shoot weight, a saffron rig designed around a microgreens companion crop, and a market closing after $100,000 in losses.
Plus six action items, starting with the one line on your invoice worth checking today.
