3 years ago TEDx
Share this:

“Fresh, healthy, and economical food delivery is a key component in driving healthy community outcomes. This talk explores real-world solutions to enhance fresh food access, including game-changing “vertical farming” technology. Alex Tyink began his career in urban agriculture 10 years ago in Brooklyn, NY where he worked as a farm manager on rooftop gardens. From there, he was contracted by 18 non-profit organizations in New York to build customized grow systems for educational and food security purposes. From these intellectual properties of those installations, he created the Fork Farms, where he is president/CEO. He holds multiple issued and pending patents in vertical farming. Tyink has served as Program Director at Goodwill Industries of North Central Wisconsin and as Director of Innovation and Programs for Feeding America Eastern Wisconsin. His work has been featured in USA Today, Insight Magazine, Fox Cities Magazine, and numerous other articles. He is the 2018 Future 15 winner and 2019 WI Innovation Awards Finalist.”

This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx.
