With our greenery, that is hopefully the pinnacle of that journey, where a furniture piece can inspire people to live healthier and better." "We have to step away from trying to be perfect or pretending something that is not natural because I feel that is actually one of the roots of our current society issues."

This market is so young, and I think that even the D2C brands, even the brands that are doing similar products, should look into our timeline of the next products that we want to do."Resources MentionedWebsite - http://www.ourgreenery.comLinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/daniel-bosman-og/Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/ourgreenery_de/YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oz0J896ueMgConnect With UsVFP LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/company/verticalfarmingpodcastVFP Twitter - https://twitter.com/VerticalFarmPodVFP Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/direct/inbox/VFP Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/VerticalFarmPodSubscribe to our newsletters!AgTech Digest - https://agtechdigest.comThe Indoor Farmer - https://www.indoorverticalfarm.com/Horti-Gen Insights - https://www.hortigeninsights.com/🎙️🎙️🎙️Podcast Production and Marketing by FullCastDiscover the best podcast services in the world at The Podosphere: https://www.thepodosphere.com/Mentioned in this episode:2025 Precision Ag Report by iGrowNews2025 Precision Ag Report2025 Precision Ag Report by iGrowNews2025 Precision Ag ReportCEA Summit East 2024CEA Summit East 2024
