Since her childhood days, Jennifer has always been interested in growing her own food and has a vested interested in what actually happens to produce as part of the growing process. Jennifer believes that the benefits seen by small scale high leverage solutions implemented by many can be disruptive when scaled.
Through SproutsIO, she and her team are working to educate and connect people to food on another level – by inventing new technologies that redefine our interaction with food, enabling people to grow produce in their homes and creating awareness about what goes into today’s food.
