"Recognizing the link between lack of fresh dietary vegetables and early death from diseases like cancer and heart disease, I have applied my deep pharmaceutical R&D expertise to agriculture, with the aim of pioneering a vegetable that's ready to eat - something as easy as grabbing a dry good snack," said Dr. Tsipi Shoham, co-founder and CEO of GreenOnyx. "I'm incredibly grateful to AgTech Breakthrough for this recognition. We'll continue to make healthy greens accessible to everyone, so every spoon is like picking greens right from the field, while also challenging the traditional performance ceilings of indoor farming systems worldwide."

"Wanna Greens uniquely bridges the gap between convenience and fresh nutrition, creating a new category of functional fresh food. Diets rich in fresh vegetables save lives. Unfortunately, fresh vegetables are not accessible and enjoyable for everyone, every day, with eight out of ten people consuming insufficient fresh green vegetables because of hassle and short shelf lives," said Bryan Vaughn, Managing Director, AgTech Breakthrough. "GreenOnyx's revolutionary approach addresses the massive unmet global demand for wholesome, sustainable, and accessible nutrition by making fresh greens enjoyable and effortless for all consumers, including children and non-vegetable eaters. Congratulations on winning 'Vertical Farming Company of the Year!'"
