Michael Gumm, Co-founder of SunPods Inc., will participate as an invited speaker at the Agriculture and Green Revolution Conference on December 1, 2010 in Salinas, California. The Monterey Bay International Trade Association (MBITA), TradePort.org, and GlobalCaliforrnia.com sponsor the conference with a focus on technology and policies that promote the "greening" of the Agriculture industry.

SunPods' Michael Gumm will present on "Growing Energy with the Sun, Becoming a Solar Farm". The presentation, part of the "Renewable Energy within the Farm Environment" panel, will give Agricultural business owners and consultants insight into solar technologies, application, and financing, tax and rebate options. Topics will also include a more detailed look into how solar energy can power specific agricultural operations such as irrigation, cooling and cold storage, rural residences, and remote locations, to offset traditional electricity costs and replace diesel powered generators.

The third annual Green Trade Network conferences continues to provide an interactive forum for research scientists, agro-technology providers, agronomic consultants, public sector agencies and other professionals working to advance both green initiatives and the creation of jobs by expanding products, services and technologies in the US and into the global marketplace.
