Rossi Mitova is the CEO and co-founder of Farmhopping, a Bulgaria-based online marketplace allowing farms to sell directly to consumers. The digital farmers' market delivers meat and produce without a middle man, giving producers the opportunity to sell to buyers at a lower rate, while increasing profits, and ensuring consumers know the origins of the products on their table.

Jason Green, co-founder and CEO, Upward Farms

Jason Green is the co-founder and CEO of Upward Farms, an urban farm set-up growing produce and fish in aquaponic ecosystems. The Brooklyn-based company retails their leafy green salads at Whole Foods Market and other area grocers.

The company converts the waste from their sustainably farmed fish into organic manure, which is is used to grow healthy, nutrient rich soil for their plants. Jason explains, "the microbiome generated by our 'whole ecosystem' approach allows us to more than double the crop yield compared to other indoor farms while eliminating crop diseases and food-borne pathogens. We use 95% less water than conventional farms and our products are free from pesticides, antibiotics, hormones, GMOs, mercury, and PCBs."
