Aqui Griffin born and raised Texan, found his way to alternative agriculture after over a decade of software engineering and management. After coming to realize that the accelerating growth of the tech industry was in complete opposition to a sustainable future, he decided to follow his passion as an agriculturalist. He has been certified through the Climate Smart Academy, and spends his time volunteering with different communities in Thailand practicing permaculture, natural farming, and seed saving. With the escalating threats posed by Climate Change, he has focused on building a knowledge base that brings together a breadth of sustainable practices, science, and traditional wisdom of indigenous peoples. He believes that together we can create a society that preserves the environment for future generations and ensures social protections for all.
