At our facilities, near Madrid, we have three rooms equipped with sensors that control lighting, temperature, humidity, carbon dioxide levels and photosynthesis, among other factors.
I studied ecological agriculture at Wageningen University & Research in the Netherlands and, in 2016, launched Ekonoke with development consultant Inés Sagrario. We grew leafy greens that we sold directly to customers. In 2020, we were joined by people with experience in producing microgreens, and together we started testing indoor hydroponic hops.
