On this episode of our 12-part Plug and Play Topeka podcast series, we connect with Débora Moretti, co-CEO of NutriSen — a Berlin-based agtech startup building real-time molecular sensors to measure nutrient concentrations in plants directly on the field.

Moretti shares how her team, alongside co-founder Tobias Vöpel, is merging biosensor technology, data-driven insights and on-farm practicality to help growers optimize fertilization, reduce waste and lower greenhouse gas emissions.

Recorded live at the Plug and Play Animal Health & AgTech Expo in Topeka, hear how Plug and Play’s heartland ecosystem helped NutriSen’s leaders know they’d made it to the right place (hint: wheat, wheat, everywhere wheat).
