Is This A Solution To Global Hunger? See For Yourself!
Shane McKenna is a visionary entrepreneur and inventor who has turned his time and attention to ending world hunger. He’s created a patent-pending hydroponic gardening system that can help urban and rural people alike raise more food.
Now he’s raising money on Indiegogo to bring it to life, helping him to bring the device to market.
Ultimately, he plans to produce the devices in the developing countries where they will be sold. He sees a variety of uses but is most excited for the applications for people with the least access to adequate food, like refugees who not only may not have enough food but have nowhere to grow it either.
