Our guest on February 28th (Noon EST, 9:00am PST) will be Boris Zelkind, General Counsel, Chief Intellectual Property Officer of 80 Acres Farms.
Why does a farm have intellectual property issues? When it’s actually a conglomeration of farms all over the country. 80 Acres Farms focuses on using vertical farming techniques and growing food indoors so that a quarter acre of land can grow as much food as eighty acres of traditional farming. Because of their methods, the farmers don’t need to use pesticides, and can be located closer to their customers in every state. Hear from Boris how he came to be their General Counsel and the sort of questions he answers on a daily and weekly basis.
