These July 2020 new ventures trends range from vertical farming subscriptions to fully automated pizzerias
Standouts in the eco business realm include Willo, a monthly vertical farming subscription service that lets consumers access fresh crops and product from their very own indoor plot of land. Fifth Season is another notable vertical farming company that operates on a direct-to-consumer business model. The company "combines vertical farming with proprietary robotics and artificial intelligence to disrupt the country’s produce market and deliver an entirely new category of hyper-local fresh food."
Piestro rounds off this list and is a fully automated pizzeria that combines a fully functioning standalone cooking system with a pie dispenser. The automated system is a response to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and hopes to be useful in public spaces like hospitals where contactless food production is more ideal.
