A supermarket that wants to be self-sufficient in lettuce, an investor that wants to grow medicinal cannabis with robots, a food producer that wants to produce hyper-locally with an indoor farm, or one of Europe’s most innovative growers that wants to grow even more controlled. Challenging issues, where we could really use your fresh perspective and help! As a trainee in our Agronomy department, you will work on a botanical research project focused on pre-harvest.
