Josh Holleb is the Co-Founder of Ceres Greenhouse Solutions, LLC®, an innovative design company that partners with residential and commercial cannabis and food growers to help build extremely energy-efficient greenhouses with advanced climate-control technologies. Josh was featured in Marijuana Venture as one of the "40 under 40" rising stars in the Cannabis Industry in 2018. As the Systems Integration Specialist at Ceres, he approaches his job with an interdisciplinary understanding of systems, architectural design, and problem-solving. Ceres has created a unique ground-to-air heat transfer (GAHT®) supplemental heating and cooling system for greenhouses that allows plants to survive—and thrive—through cold winters by harnessing the earth's natural ability to produce heat and regulate climate. Ceres is also the only distributor in North America of ETFE Glazing, a super durable and highly light-transmissive (95%) greenhouse material that has been widely used in Japan for decades—and it is also recyclable. Our food and cannabis systems in North America are disconnected and wasteful, forcing us to transport in long-distance supply chains. Not only does this use excessive energy, it also creates food deserts and alienates communities from their food and cannabis source. Josh wants to revolutionize this antiquated system by using climate-controlled greenhouses, empowering communities to produce high-quality, local cannabis and food throughout the year. The Ceres Youtube channel (10k+ subscribers) gives a vision—as well as beautiful community examples—of how we can design our food production for the future.
