Rosario Iacono is working on nothing less than a solution to world hunger. That’s why he founded an AgTech startup, that develops high-yield, tailor-made crop varieties for vertical farming: Anthea. The biologist aims to remove a key barrier in the sector: unsuitable plant genetics. By offering pathogen-free, open-source seeds, Anthea empowers local farms to thrive. With growing global demand for sustainable urban food production, Anthea’s scalable business model is well-positioned to meet future needs and drive long-term impact.
