MIGUEL JARDINE-founder and CEO of Vermisoks, LLC. Created a patentable system for growing organic produce under harsh environmental conditions, specifically extreme heat and low water. Each acre VermiSoks installation converts 1,100 tons of food waste into 7,600 cu.ft. of top soil while simultaneously growing food. The system was developed to help overcome the urban food desert crisis by increasing the supply of fresh produce to low-income communities suffering from higher rates of diet-related illnesses like obesity, diabetes, and heart disease.
