Some of the Agri-Immanence team members (Alex, Molly, Kunjal, Jefkine) had a second visit to Grantstown Nursery in Waterford, Ireland to gain feedback and guidance from the lead grower on the Agri-Immanence technology solution.
The Agri-Immanence team members met with David Currid to discuss barriers and opportunities for greenhouse growers in Ireland and EU.
Grantstown Nurseries are a greenhouse business based in Waterford, Ireland. The greenhouse specialises in tomatoes and are Ireland’s top suppliers to tomatoes to the retail sector.
Grantstown Nurseries supply tomatoes to major supermarket chains in Ireland, including SuperValu, Dunnes Stores and Tesco, amongst others.
The team were provided with tour of the commercial tomato greenhouses, and discussed problems and opportunities within the industry.
In particular, David discussed with Agri-Immanence team members how to support business in the green transition and roadblocks to becoming more sustainable.
An earlier visit by Agri-Immanence in July focused on ideating the Agri-Immanence solution, ensuring the team has the insights needed to identify how Agri-Immanence can best meet the needs of greenhouse growers.
Agri-Immanence is hugely grateful to David and Granstown Nurseries for access to their facility and feedback to Agri-Immanence on how best to meet their needs with a digital agronomy assistant.
