Ag tech veteran David Lee becomes CEO of Inevitable Tech

Ag tech veteran David Lee has taken on a new role as CEO and Board Chair at Inevitable Tech Inc., a business-to-business ag tech platform that uses artificial intelligence, plant science and automation to boost farmer profitability and food quality.

Inevitable invents and builds advanced growing systems so farmers can better manage their crops. The Lockhart, Texas-based company's first product is a "Clean Propagation" system to ensure healthy seeds and robust seedling growth.

The majority of vine crops consumed in the United States – nearly 70% – are imported, typically trucked thousands of miles. Even the seeds and seedlings grown on US farms are often imported – and the transportation process exposes them to greater risk of pests and other dangers that can wipe out an entire harvest. Inevitable enables farmers to reduce costs, improve reliability, reduce growing volatility associated with climate change, and boost yield per acre – while shrinking the land, water and energy footprint of crops.

Inevitable's first partner is Revol Greens, an Austin, Texas-based controlled environment agriculture company that produces high-quality lettuce and other greens in high-tech greenhouses using fewer natural resources and no harsh chemicals. Inevitable also has a development agreement with AppHarvest, a B Corp.-certified sustainable food company with 165 acres of high-tech indoor farms delivering salad greens, strawberries, cucumbers and tomatoes to the top 25 grocery store chains, restaurants and food service outlets in North America.
