Most of what we eat comes from soil, but experts predict we have just 50 years left to grow food on arable land. Around the world, the excessive use of chemical fertilizers and non-regenerative agricultural practices have stripped soil of vital essential nutrients. An apple a day may keep the doctor away, but would you want to eat five pieces of fruit just to get some basic nutrition?
For Sashti Balasundaram, the founder and CEO of WeRadiate, the solution to degraded soil involves a systematic, data-driven approach to improving soil nutrient levels. The company’s technology helped it win a FuzeHub award in 2018, and a $250,000 prize from the Grow-NY Food and Ag Competition in 2021. Join us as we talk to Sashti about healthy soil, healthy food, and strong communities.
