Drawing on lessons from permaculture, the talk explores how working with ecological relationships\u2014soil biology, diversity, feedback loops, and resilience\u2014can unlock outcomes that technology alone can\u2019t deliver. Crow makes the case that when precision tools are grounded in ecological context, agriculture becomes not just more efficient, but more regenerative, adaptable, and ultimately more successful for farmers, landscapes, and communities alike.\u202f\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\u003Cdiv\u003E\u003Cp\u003EBio: Tres Crow is the founder of\u202f\u003Ca href=\u0022http:\/\/greenboxus.com\u0026quot;%20\/o%20%22http:\/\/greenboxus.com\u0022 rel=\u0022noreferrer noopener\u0022 target=\u0022_blank\u0022\u003EGreenBox Homes\u003C\/a\u003E, a regenerative landscaping and ecological design company working to transform conventional yards into living, food-producing ecosystems. With a background spanning marketing, community development, and hands-on land stewardship, Tres blends systems thinking with a deep respect for nature\u2019s intelligence. His work draws heavily from permaculture principles, native plant ecology, and practical implementation, helping homeowners, schools, and organizations move beyond sustainability toward regeneration. Tres is a frequent speaker on ecological design, resilient communities, and the role of land care in shaping healthier human and natural systems.\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E","summary":"","format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003EThe PACE initiative envisions new paradigms in the management of light, water, and nutrients, enabling high-value precision agriculture in controlled environments.\u003C\/p\u003E","format":"limited_html"}],"field_summary_sentence":[{"value":"Presented by the IMS PACE (Precision Agriculture in Controlled Environments) initiative"}],"uid":"36620","created_gmt":"2026-01-13 19:18:30","changed_gmt":"2026-01-13 21:50:17","author":"rgrieco6","boilerplate_text":"","field_publication":"","field_article_url":"","field_event_time":{"event_time_start":"2026-01-16T12:30:00-05:00","event_time_end":"2026-01-16T13:30:00-05:00","event_time_end_last":"2026-01-16T13:30:00-05:00","gmt_time_start":"2026-01-16 17:30:00","gmt_time_end":"2026-01-16 18:30:00","gmt_time_end_last":"2026-01-16 18:30:00","rrule":null,"timezone":"America\/New_York"},"location":"Marcus Nanotechnology Building 1116","extras":["free_food"],"groups":[{"id":"660369","name":"Matter and Systems"}],"categories":[],"keywords":[{"id":"189814","name":"go-researchevents"}],"core_research_areas":[],"news_room_topics":[],"event_categories":[{"id":"1795","name":"Seminar\/Lecture\/Colloquium"}],"invited_audience":[{"id":"78761","name":"Faculty\/Staff"},{"id":"177814","name":"Postdoc"},{"id":"78771","name":"Public"},{"id":"174045","name":"Graduate students"},{"id":"78751","name":"Undergraduate students"}],"affiliations":[],"classification":[],"areas_of_expertise":[],"news_and_recent_appearances":[],"phone":[],"contact":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003E\u003Ca href=\u0022mailto:anju@gatech.edu\u0022\u003EAnju Toor\u003C\/a\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E","format":"limited_html"}],"email":[],"slides":[],"orientation":[],"userdata":""}}}
