Presenter Profile: Linda Proffitt

A Conversation with Linda Proffitt, founder and executive director of Global Peace Initiatives

What will you be presenting?

We will have a prototype home-sized model for a polyculture growing environment. [Note: Polyculture refers to growing more than one species at a time. In this case, plants and fish are cultivated together in a recirculating environment.]

Why should people be interested?

Many people may be interested in growing herbs and fish in their own home.

How did you get started down this path?

Global Peace Initiatives is engaging with our partner organizations to create polyculture growing systems. We want to make these food systems available to people in their homes.

What resources are available in this cutting edge field?

Global Peace Initiatives and our partners at Manual High School STAR Academy for Agricultural Science and Business are your polyculture growing environment social entrepreneurs. Contact us for more information at (317) 222-1556.
