Imagine if city governments focused more on planting food-bearing plants than ornamental plants. Everyone can come together for urban foraging, making such plants essential for beautification and community building. Ethan Welty wants every person in the world to give more attention to these food-bearing plants, and this is his main purpose for co-founding Falling Fruit. Joining Corinna Bellizzi, he explains how he uses this online platform to promote fruit harvest in urban settings by mapping which cities you can forage food. Corinna and Ethan also share about the trees and plants they grew and harvested, as well as the process and benefits of guerilla gardening and grafting.

About Guest:

Ethan Welty is a postdoctoral researcher at the World Glacier Monitoring Service and University Of Zurich. He is the Co-Founder of Falling Fruit, a technology-focused 501(c)(3) non-profit organization mapping the world's edible plants.

Have you thought about all the cooling needs of our food procurement and delivery systems? How much energy is consumed to ensure food waste is at a minimum and you receive fresh produce and food each day?

Manik Suri and seeks to tackle this challenge with his climate tech startup by harnessing smart tracking systems that integrate machine learning and the internet of things (iOT). This interview provides insights and gets you thinking about how a simple solution, like tracking the energy use of simple appliances in our food chain can optimize our energy consumption, reduce waste, and provide grid stability (so your power doesn't go out). Manik invites us all to be climate aware as we build a better future, harnessing the power of simple technology for good.

When talking about health and chronic diseases, people don't really talk about financial freedom and what it can do for you. People are always trying to find solutions to their problems without really going in on the root cause. Just like a chronic disease, it can be cured and financial independence is a good way to start.
