Episode 219: How Cannabis Cultivators are Solving the Microbial Contamination Crisis

from Cannabis Tech Talks

Microbial contamination is quietly costing cannabis cultivators up to 15–20% of their harvest, but new technology is changing that. In Episode 219, Arthur D. Cordova, CEO of Zeal, explains how radio frequency decontamination uses the plant’s natural moisture to eliminate mold and pathogens without damaging product quality. Drawing from decades in food safety, Cordova breaks down how this “pasteurization for cannabis” is gaining traction in Europe and among Canadian exporters, and why growers are shifting from stigma to safety-first solutions.WEBSITE: https://cannatechtoday.com/Make sure to follow our other social media platforms to stay up-to-date on all things Cannabis & Tech Today.https://twitter.com/cannatechtodayhttps://www.facebook.com/CannaTechTodayhttps://www.instagram.com/cannatechtoday
