“Tucson has a lot of great advantages,” said Ryan Lefers, CEO and President of Red Sea Farms.
His company, which focuses on agriculture technology, is based in Saudi Arabia but Lefers has since moved to southern Arizona because of this new program.
“Were best known for our work with salt water,” said Lefers. “We do a lot of breeding or water tolerance in plants in addition we try to leverage salt water for cooling.”
