Navigating the Food Energy Water Nexus: turning Food Waste into Fuel and Fertilizer
A brief description of the innovative policy, practice, program, or outcome that outlines how credit criteria are met and any positive measurable outcomes associated with the innovation:
At the Patel College we have demonstrated A NEW STEM curriculum innovation! This is the Home and Community scale URBAN biodigesters are the best example of a food/energy/water nexus that can rapidly, safely, and effectively close the loop by transforming ALL of our food wastes into the energy for cooking food and the fertilizer for growing new food. Best of all, we have created an innovative open source design that ANYBODY can build and use anywhere in the world -- and we have proven this in poor communities all over the globe -- most recently by building and installing one at nearby Blake High School as STEM curriculum innovation that we hope to bring as part of our commitment to action with the Clinton Global Initiative to the Bedouin communities and refugee camps in Jordan working with one of our Patel College students who is from that region.
