Viraj Puri, Gotham Greens: Locally-grown produce
Viraj Puri, Co-Founder & CEO, Gotham Greens: While indoor farming may not represent the future of all fresh produce production, for certain types of crops, it will become more prevalent. In 2020, our partners increasingly recognized the reliability, consistency and high quality of our greenhouse-grown produce that is grown in close proximity to their homes and stores.
Our number one priority in 2021 remains the continued health and safety of our employees, our customers and the communities in which we operate. There wasn’t a playbook for how to handle our operations and employee health in a pandemic, so everyday decision making keeps us on our toes. In addition, we’re focused on keeping up with the demand from customers across the United States.
We will continue to scale our operations quickly to meet the broader food and nutrition needs of consumers nationwide.
