I think I did well with my team—they’re now thriving here in Canada, in Europe, and the US. That’s what I keep from my time with cannabis: not only the plants, but the good connections and the growth of people.” “When you train someone, you need to show them the whys. It’s not just about checking a box or putting a number on a piece of paper. If you understand why each step matters, you catch problems before they happen and build a stronger team.” “In a greenhouse, the moment you get comfortable, something happens to shake things up. You need to train people to adapt, improvise, and always keep moving. Nothing stops—everything needs to continue, and that’s what makes this work so engaging.” Connect with Luis-Gabriel ============ Luis-Gabriel's LinkedIn:   / luis-gabriel-forero-4b434541   Connect with Sunterra ============ Website: https://www.sunterragreenhouse.com/ @SunterraGreenhouse LinkedIn:   / sunterra-greenhouse   Instagram:   / sunterragreenhouse   Facebook:   / sunterragreenhouse   Resources Mentioned ============ Philips (horticultural lighting): https://www.philips.com/agriculture @LEDmasterclass Bayer (crop science): https://www.bayer.com/en/crop-science @bayerhellas-cropscience Presented by AgTech Media Group: ============ Subscribe to our newsletters: AgTech Digest: http://agtechdigest.com/ The Indoor Farmer: http://agtechdigest.com/ Horti-Gen Insights: https://www.hortigeninsights.com/ Subscribe to our podcasts: Vertical Farming Podcast: https://verticalfarmingpodcast.com/ @verticalfarmingpodcast AgTech Digest: https://agtechdigest.com/c/agtech-dig...
