Building 34, Room 103, 34-103
Alex Eaton, co-founder of Sistema.bio
Focusing on small farmers in Latin America, East Africa and India, this presentation will demonstrate how waste-to-energy technology, capacity building and innovative financing is creating a movement towards regenerative agricultural practices. We will discuss how smallholders around the world can work together to increase global food production while turning their farms, homes and soils into carbon sinks.
Alex is co-founder of Sistema.bio, a social business addressing climate change, food security, and poverty around the world by providing technology development, training, and financing of sustainable waste-to-resources infrastructure for small farmers. Alex is an Ashoka Fellow and a Switzer Environmental Leadership Fellow, holds degrees in journalism and environmental engineering and is based in Mexico City.
