George's vision extends well beyond achieving his own entrepreneurial aspirations: His mission to help create solutions to the challenges of food insecurity and the dearth of job opportunities for at risk populations throughout cities around the world. His patented technology is quickly replacing complex mechanical systems and hydroponics with simple growing techniques that are organic and without fertilizers or other synthetic chemicals.
