Our mission at Sensei Ag is to solve the global gaps and inconsistencies in nutrition, food safety and food security through the transformative power of data. Led by Dr. David Agus’ visionary research, we are rethinking indoor agriculture and building cutting-edge technology systems that can dramatically improve food quality and farm production.
