This talk, delivered by Nona Yehia, Co-Founder & CEO of Vertical Harvest, will describe a fascinating win-win-win set of solutions the company has built – from developing underutilized space in underserved urban neighborhoods, to using 85% less water to deliver produce at peak flavor and nutrition, to operating an inclusive employment model focused on individuals with physical and/or intellectual disabilities. Not only does this next-generation business model eliminate many of the negative impacts of a traditional supply chain, but it is also explicitly aiming at being net-positive on the social and local economic development sides of the equation, too. Learn how Yehia and team have made this all possible to date, and what their advice is for those looking to build similarly ambitious ventures in other contexts.
