Does Big Money Matter? The New Economics of CEA Investing

Dr. Russell Sharp breaks down a candid interview with Equilibrium Capital's Dave Chen on the challenges of financing and scaling controlled environment agriculture (CEA). He covers why large capital requirements, post‑COVID funding shifts, and supermarket relationships make leafy‑green CEA a high‑risk, high‑scale business. The episode also explores niche crop opportunities, the power of cooperatives and branding, and the "holy trinity" of operator, grower and retail partner needed to succeed — plus how Eutrema can help with fertilisers and biostimulants for CEA growers. https://eutrema.co.uk/shop/fertiliser/liquid-gold-unique-complete-fertiliser/   Little Leaf, Revol Greens, and Perfection Fresh Hortidaily Horticulture Week
