Gavin SchneiderFounder

Canada - Greater Vancouver Metropolitan Area

I am a resourceful agriculturist who likes to work with a diversity of people and plants around the world. My expertise is growing plants for experimental purposes and technical greenhouse operation. I can conduct plant trials in field, greenhouse, and laboratory conditions. I have been an active member of a research-intensive team developing new bioactive plant health products. I am capable of executing large-scale agricultural research projects. My botanical interests spans aquatic plants, peatland mosses, commodity agricultural crops, tropical horticulture, and greenhouse vegetables. I am an effective decision maker and can guide teams towards common goals. With Terramera I have driven the development of an automated research greenhouse and controlled climate growth chambers. I am broadly trained as a Geographer, with a knowledge base in geospatial technology and GIS, soil science, climate change, and international development. I am endlessly passionate about the future of sustainable agriculture and growing huge quantities of food using new technology.
