EP36: How to build a sustainable chemical-free food system with Tinia Pina

Re-Nuble is the brainchild of CEO and founder Tinia Pina. Tired of not seeing more local produce options available in her volunteer Prep SAT classes in Harlem, New York City, where nutrition heavily influences the productivity and furthermore success of a kid's future, Tinia Pina took matters into her own hands. She felt that by solving two large systemic issues in the United States, the large volumes of food waste generated and the affordability of organically grown produce, she could provide one solution that would address both, creating an organic-based liquid hydroponic nutrient from organic-certified produce waste. By offering a natural alternative to synthetics for hydroponic and soil growers that have been searching for ways to cultivating food and plants without using chemicals, she became committed to using food waste as a technology to indirectly increase the domestic organic produce supply in the United States. In 2015, Re-Nuble launched online, quickly becoming a brand that stands for traceability, equity, and sustainability in our food systems.
