On this week’s podcast, Lancaster Farming talks to Daniel Lirette, founder and CEO of GrowDoc, a Canadian maker of an app that uses artificial intelligence and machine learning to diagnose issues with cannabis plants, such as disease, pests, and nutrient deficiencies.

Lirette discusses how and why he started the company and built the app. He also shares his thoughts on the US hemp and cannabis industry from his perspective in Canada, where cannabis has been legal across the board federally since 2017.
