    #8: James Rogers of Apeel Sciences
    Apr 9 2022

    James Rogers is Founder and CEO of Apeel Sciences. Over 30% of food grown in the world goes to waste. Apeel adds a layer of invisible, tasteless, odorless, plant-based protection on the surface of fruits and vegetables. This helps extend shelf life significantly, by creating a protective extra peel that seals moisture in and keeps oxygen out. But how did James come up with the idea for Apeel, and what’s next for him and his team in the coming years? Tune in for an exciting conversation!
