The Aigen Element is an innovative solution to an age old problem of weeds. Crops fight for nutrients, light and water against weeds and if unchecked, the weeds snuff out the crops. Farmers have used chemicals to improve crop yields and fight weeds. Element uses no chemicals to mechanically remove weeds and help us remove our food-chain dependence on these chemicals.I have a unique relationship with the Aigen Element being that I am responsible for the supply chain of Aigen. Over my short time at Aigen as Head of Supply Chain, I have helped the engineers rapidly iterate Element in advance of our initial production runs. I have worked out logistics, warehousing, supplier selection and we are ready to go.
