Do you have two ultra-green thumbs and a dream to improve the world through sustainable agriculture? FYTO is looking for a skilled Grower to manage crop-growing installations in Sonoma-Marin and adjacent areas of California.

About FYTO (www.fyto.us)

FYTO launched out of MIT in 2019 to create solutions that increase farmers’ profitability and decrease our collective carbon ‘foodprint’. We merge engineering, biology and business expertise with farmers’ hands-on experience. FYTO’s patent-pending technology produces nutrient-dense feed, food, and fertilizer products from non-GMO crops without synthetic fertilizer or as much energy, water, and labor as traditional agriculture.

Creativity, transparency, and collaboration are core values that guide how we do business. We’re a small team taking on a big problem, and we’re looking for people who are passionate about revolutionizing agriculture.

About the Grower position
