80 Acres Farms CEO recognised as one of 2024's most outstanding entrepreneurs by Goldman Sachs

80 Acres Farms, a company featured in the Vintage Altaroc Odyssey 2021, based in Ohio, has revolutionized traditional agriculture by developing self-sufficient vertical farms. These facilities, powered by renewable energy sources and free of arable land, use robotic technologies and artificial intelligence to produce pesticide-free food, while optimizing the use of water and space. The company, which aligns environmental performance and profitability, is today a key player in the sustainable agricultural sector.

Mike Zelkind, CEO of 80 Acres Farms, has just been recognized by Goldman Sachs as one of the “Most Exceptional Entrepreneurs of 2024.” A recognition that highlights not only his leadership, but also the considerable advances of vertical farming in the agri-food sector.

This distinction from Goldman Sachs rewards the work of the team and opens new perspectives for the company, which intends to strengthen its leading position in a rapidly expanding sector .
