#1: Meet your co-hosts, NYC-based urban agriculture nerds

Published: Sept. 15, 2018, 3:24 a.m.

Elyssa + Alina are friends living in NYC and working in different aspects of urban agriculture. Our fields (no pun intended) put us face-to-face with innovations in tech, sustainability and city culture. Elyssa spends her days working on clean energy policy and finance, and her weekends serving as an Advisor to Brooklyn-based co-working lab, AgTech-X. In addition to being a registered dietitian nutritionist, Alina oversees marketing, product and nutrition at AeroFarms, the leading indoor agriculture company in the world based in Newark, NJ. Both are members of the NYC Urban Agriculture Collective, and both definitely eat their veggies.
