This week, Ira spoke with Steven Hoffen, an award-winning teen documentarian who installs hydroponic gardens in places of need. In this growing episode of “Ira’s Everything Bagel,” Steven talks about how he developed an interest in hydroponics; why he decided to do a documentary on the subject; how he started a non-profit to fund and place hydronic equipment in areas of food need; using a sustainable technology to supplement or alleviate food insecurity; how his film project led him to great partnerships; how he set up the Growing Peace Foundation; expanding chapters to others states; receiving awards for his work; and what he wants for the future of the organization.
