Global food supply chains are under unprecedented pressure from climate change and geopolitical tensions, making sustainable and nutritious food sources more critical than ever. With only a small fraction of the global population consuming the minimum recommended phytonutrients essential for health, innovative solutions are urgently needed.

Can scalable solutions in agricultural technology ensure a consistent supply of nutrient-rich foods across the globe, especially in regions facing significant agricultural challenges?

In this episode of DisruptED, host Ron J. Stefanski explores the groundbreaking work of Tsipi Shoham, CEO and founder of GreenOnyx. From her unique background in oncology research to her innovative approach to sustainable agriculture, Tsipi offers insights into how her company is transforming the global food supply landscape.

Her company is transforming the global food supply landscape.

Main Points of Conversation:

  • Quantum Farming and Biomimicry: How GreenOnyx employs quantum farming techniques to create scalable and efficient agricultural solutions.
  • Phytonutrient-Rich Crops: The importance of phytonutrients and how GreenOnyx is pioneering the use of lesser-known, nutrient-dense crops like water lentils.
  • Sustainability and Food Safety: The measures taken by GreenOnyx to ensure their produce is free from contaminants and environmentally sustainable.

Tsipi Shoham began her career as an oncology researcher, specializing in cancer immunotherapy. She conducted her postdoctoral research at Stanford University, where she developed a keen interest in the link between phytonutrients and the immune system. Her transition from cancer research to sustainable agriculture led to the founding of GreenOnyx, where she continues to apply her scientific expertise to develop innovative farming solutions that prioritize health and sustainability.

IndexBox sees panelized buildings growing 5.3% a year if panel plants keep up

IndexBox sees panelized buildings growing 5.3% a year if panel plants keep up

IndexBox forecasts the global panelized buildings market to grow 5.3% a year from 2026 to 2035, with residential housing at about 45% of 2026 demand. Factory capacity is the catch. Limited mass timber and specialized steel framing capacity will hold growth back in some regions, and IndexBox expects investment in new plants and automation to ease those bottlenecks by the late 2020s.

  • 01Panels swap scarce framing crews for factory hours, and through the late 2020s the factory hours for mass timber and specialized steel framing are scarce too.
  • 02Housing is 45% of panelized demand, but commercial and institutional projects are expected to grow faster because owners are paying for schedule certainty; warehouse and campus owners are closest to that shift.
  • 03Volumetric modular plants are estimated to need 60% to 70% utilization to break even, so the useful question for a panel supplier is how far out the specific production line is booked.

Requests for Paebbl's carbon-storing cement substitute far outstrip what it can produce

Requests for Paebbl's carbon-storing cement substitute far outstrip what it can produce

Rebond 300 replaces up to 30% of cement in concrete with no equipment changes. In a Holcim and Goldbeck floor slab trial at C30/37, its workability, setting time and finishing matched the reference mix. Demand exceeds what Paebbl can produce, and closing that gap is now its main challenge.

  • 01Once a carbon-storing binder clears a standard ready-mix plant and a C30/37 pour with no schedule change, the question that decides adoption is supply: how many tonnes, at what price, in what share of the mix.
  • 02If Rebond 300 displaces up to 30% of cement yet can cut embodied carbon by up to 40%, the figures imply a negative footprint beyond simple substitution; Paebbl cites a verified -149 kg CO2e per tonne of product, with results depending on mix design.

ABC's Hensel Phelps Diverge partnership puts field tests ahead of vendor demos

ABC's Hensel Phelps Diverge partnership puts field tests ahead of vendor demos

Carolinas contractors need field-tested evidence on new tools now. ABC's Construction Backlog Indicator reached 8.7 months in September, yet more than a quarter of contractors expect thinner margins.

  • 01A contractor with 8.7 months of work booked has time to pilot new tools. A contractor expecting thinner margins has less room to pay for a tool that only worked in the demo.
  • 02Diverge tests construction tools in controlled pilots and on active jobsites, and ABC can pass along what holds up. Contractors still need to choose what to pilot and define the metric that will decide it.
  • 03In South Carolina, a 1099 specialist brought in to run a tech pilot faces two separate state classification tests. Passing one does not settle the other.
