Aja Atwood Teaching Us To Grow Our Own

Aja Atwood is the co-founder and CEO of Trella Technologies, a revolutionary agri-tech startup that focuses on creating innovative technologies to protect plant medicine and our food supply. With over 15 years of experience as a natural catastrophe risk engineer, she draws on her expertise in climate disaster risk engineering to develop technologies that will revolutionize the urban farming industry.

Aja is a  Northeastern University alum who worked as an international engineering consultant until  2016 when she combined her engineering expertise with a passion for plant medicine to create TrellaGro LST™, a patented automated plant training system that revolutionizes indoor farming and diverse plant growth.

And most recently, Aja created a Grow Our Own initiative, which Joyce been a student of and has found so helpful in learning to grow her own with confidence.

Joyce also speaks with  Meaka Brown who talk about what she’s now doing to help cannabis businesses get banking at Green Check Verified, and Joyce gives a shout out for two upcoming Canna Mom events in the Boston area.
