Sustainable Agriculture & Cotton - GALY, Luciano Bueno (ArteHouse Innovation Series with Ali & Tim)

The Artesian Podcast

This is Episode 3 of the ArteHouse Innovation Series with Ali & Tim.
In this episode, our Portfolio Manager, Ali Clunies-Ross, and Artesian Partner, Tim Heasley, interview Luciano Bueno.
Luciano explains how they grow their “cotton” in a lab, based on cells instead of plants. Amazingly, his company won the annual Global Change Award from the Sweden-based H&M Foundation (named after the apparel company) which took home the first prize of about $350,000 U.S. dollars with the award, which has been called the Nobel Prize of Fashion.
Listen as Luciano explains how they are working towards revolutionizing the way the industries produce goods today and implementing a much more sustainable form of agriculture. Now, by developing intelligent scale-up strategies with cotton cells, as the in-vitro cotton production market has never been done on an industrial scale, they are capable of doing something truly new and innovative.
About Luciano Bueno
Luciano built his last company from zero with almost no budget which led him to important recognitions, great learnings and helped him to be granted with EB-1 Green Card which gave him a new perspective and the opportunity to launch GALY.
Luciano proudly shares his company, their beliefs, and how he built a group of passionate people with a strong sense of purpose on a mission to find ways to save our planet.
About GALY
GALY is producing cotton grown from cells in a facility, not plants on a field. We developed a process to grow cotton in vitro that is 10x faster, uses 80% less resources, independent on land or weather and with potential of 5x-10x higher margins than traditional cotton.
