2024's Earth Day Focus is Plastic Pollution

So what's the big deal about plastic?

As plastics break down into microplastics, they release toxic chemicals into our food and water sources and circulate through the air we breathe. Plastic production now has grown to more than 380 million tons per year. More plastic has been produced in the last ten years than in the entire 20th century, and the industry plans to grow explosively for the indefinite future.

Where to start?

So many people want to grow their own food and just don't know where to start. There are so many sources of information now, so many seeds, so many gardening supplies...it can indeed be quite overwhelming. So where do you start?

Sweet Farm’s technology program is perhaps the most impactful part of our climate efforts. We recently put together an outline of our tech accelerator work so we can more clearly communicate to the world just how important and exciting it is, and share with you why we have so much optimism for the future. Our program supports start-ups across food, agriculture, sustainability, and climate technologies, working to make a more compassionate and sustainable food system on a global scale. Check it out below and find out why we are so excited about this work, and how fascinating and world-changing these technologies are!
