John James Staniszewski is on a personal mission to get 10 million Fungitarians — someone who eats mushrooms every day — by 2027 by giving people real products made in the U.S. from mushroom farmers.

"We’re trying to help people see we’re investing our time into something that will yield a significant return, not just in dollars, but in the health of those consuming our food," he says.

They reported a constant concern with heat and puzzling over the ability to ensure a variety of plants grow optimally under the same roof.

We know you're under pressure to lower operating costs and stay competitive in today’s dynamic market as you work to produce high-quality, low-cost crops.

Apart from labor, energy is probably the top operating cost for most growers. So, one of the best ways to help reduce costs is to improve the energy efficiency of your operation.

Daniel Ciolkosz, an associate research professor at Penn State College of Agricultural Sciences, shares some of the most common successful measures greenhouse growers can use to reduce energy use without compromising the performance of your greenhouse:

Justin Bartlett, co-CEO at Legacy Labor, Inc., explains the connection between access to consistent H-2A labor and efficient operations:

"Greenhouse production is growing fast, and we saw a need in this ever-changing and expanding space for reliable, consistent and compliant labor. Also, we understand greenhouse work, especially the food supply chain. Work in CEA greenhouses is typically consistent and predictable compared to field harvest work. We want to provide work for our employees that is in a clean and safe environment."

Most shoppers have a mixed system of buying vegetables for specific meals and having some vegetables on hand without a specific meal in mind.

But more shoppers plan exactly what fruit they want to buy before going to the store — though fruit also has a lot of impulse power.

These insights were revealed in “The Power of Produce,” a study from FMI – The Food Industry Association. Find out more here:
