The Wednesday Interview I talk to Tinia Pina, CEO of Re-Nuble, about how her organisation uses commercial vegetable waste to produce a nutrient feed for hydroponic farmers. They use sea-food waste from fish processors too. It makes a biodegradable substrate to support the hydroponic plants.

In this episode of the IFundWomen Show with Karen Cahn, Tinia Pina, Founder & CEO of Re-Nuble, is looking for advice on how to socialize her mission and connect with Gen Z and Millennials on social media. Re-Nuble makes food scraps a compatible plant food for indoor growers, which reduces the need for chemical fertilizers that contribute to air and water pollution.    Tinia doesn't have any issues getting her B2B consumers to align with her mission, but she's having trouble tapping into the families who can benefit from Re-Nuble. Where are kids and their parents consuming content and getting ideas these days? Answer: TikTok, Instagram Reels, and Instagram Stories. TikTok has trained people to only want ‘edutainment' in bite-sized videos. Coach Karen suggests that instead of starting from scratch, Tinia should find the young people and influencers who are already on the platform and creating content about the environment and organic food.    Coach Karen gives Tinia a weekend homework assignment to claim the TikTok handle and start interacting with those people and studying the trends. Let's see how she makes food waste understandable, funny, and most importantly, shareable.    This episode was produced by Swell Podcasting & Sofia Badalamenti at IFundWomen Host: Karen Cahn, Founder & CEO of IFundWomen Music: “Street Dance Hip-Hop Party” by StereoNuts from Envato Elements   Important Links: Follow Karen on: Instagram: https://bit.ly/3zSkFv5 Twitter: https://bit.ly/3rGQ7tu LinkedIn: https://bit.ly/3laVdNy Follow IFundWomen on: TikTok: https://bit.ly/3k83X4R Instagram: https://bit.ly/3D3esz1 Twitter: https://bit.ly/3zLWOxe LinkedIn: https://bit.ly/3sAQ96w Sign up for IFundWomen's newsletter: https://bit.ly/3D7bZn2 Get your copy of the IFundWomen Method Playbook: https://bit.ly/381nSgg Check out Re-Nuble: Website: https://bit.ly/3tdu0x7  Instagram: https://bit.ly/36nMSkg

Tinia Pina is my guest on Episode 135 of Inside Ideas with Marc Buckley. Tinia received her B.S. in Business Information Technology from Virginia Tech and studied briefly at Columbia University's Earth Institute. She has seven years of experience in the financial services industry and ten years as a professional in the sustainability industry. Her experiences related to food waste, food systems and sustainability have fueled her passion to increase our communities' resilience, prosperity, and knowledge to help us live more conscious lives. Tinia's pioneering business model has earned her a Huffington Post Millennial Impact Grant, the American Express Emerging Innovator award and a MillerCoors Urban Entrepreneur grant, among other honors. After studying Environmental Conservation and Sustainability at Columbia University's Earth Institute and volunteering at various community urban farms, Tinia launched Re-Nuble with a mission to “Redefine Waste” within urban communities. Re-Nuble quickly evolved into a social enterprise dedicated to changing wasteful habits around the world. Tinia is a SWANA Certified Composting Systems Technical Associate and her experiences related to food waste, systems and policy have fueled her passion to increase our communities' resilience, prosperity, and knowledge to help us live more conscious lives. Re-Nuble Founded December 2011 While volunteering as an SAT-prep teacher in 2012 in New York City, Founder Tinia Pina saw firsthand how limited healthy food options impacted her students' productivity, affecting their future. Pulled towards the mission of improving local food production, she created the company, Re-Nuble. Tinia felt there was a unique opportunity to use New York City's food stream to catalyze more sustainable growing near urban areas, especially as people continue to become more interested in eating less chemically-laden food. Tinia began to spend a lot of time thinking, why is this? Why is it that there's more affordable chemically-laden and processed food available than chemical- free and healthier options. After doing extensive research, Tinia realized that it's because our food system is incredibly inefficient. A pound of organic- certified tomatoes is often sold at a price that's 43% higher than chemically produced (conventionally grown) tomatoes because it's easier and cheaper for growers to produce. With the alarming adversities our society is facing with food and water scarcity and with 70% of global population estimated to live in and near cities by 2050, she knew that we had to be more smart and efficient with our natural resources and overall production of healthy, good food. https://www.re-nuble.com/

Great to chat with Tinia Pina, Founder & CEO of Re-Nuble, a company that uses organic cycling science technology to transform unrecoverable vegetative food byproducts into a platform of sustainable technologies for soilless farming!

In this episode of "Let's Talk Farm to Fork", we're joined by Tinia Pina from Re-Nuble, who we will be talking to about how their organic cycling technology can transform unrecoverable vegetative food byproducts into sustainable technologies for soilless farming.https://www.re-nuble.com/

We waste about 35% of the food we produce. In poor countries it's more due to lack of infrastructure, in affluent countries it's because food is cheap and easy to discard. But there's an environmental cost that will increasingly become an issue. Re-Nuble is an Ag startup that seeks to prevent food waste while giving an assist to indoor Agriculture. The company harvests vegetative waste and turns it into a pasteurized, pathogen free fertility product for soil-less indoor farming operations.  Sponsored by LandTrust landtrust.com

Wondering what it's like to have an urban farm in Chicago? Episode 6 is here! More importantly, we welcome our first gusts on the podcast, Alicia Nesbary-Moore and Barry Howard, the leaders over at Herban Produce. They are an urban farm over in the windy city. On this episode, we dive into their story and experience with urban farming in another city, and we share a BIG announcement about a new farm location. For our news segment, Rob, Michael, and Ina talk all things Re-Nuble. New York-based Re-Nuble announced that the company has raised $1.1M in Seed funding. Founded by Tinia Pina, the company turns food waste into a way to grow more food. The company's technology ‘upcycles' organic compounds from unrecoverable vegetable food waste, generating water-soluble, organic, hydroponic nutrients for soilless farms. The company calls its solution Organic Cycling Science (OSC). The system extracts viable, soluble nutrients in food waste and places it back into the food system for continuous reuse until a small percentage of its solids have no longer any residual value. By doing so, the company aims to create a closed loop system through an organic nutrient supply chain that is a carbon negative process done at scale, making it competitive to less sustainable commercial-level options. http://farm.one/?utm_source=audioepodcast&utm_medium=description&utm_campaign=signup (Sign up for the Farm.One Farm Share) Follow us on Instagram at http://instagram.com/farm.one To read more about some of the topics that were discussed, check out the links below: Herban Produce https://www.herbanproduce.com/ Food waste to indoor farming input: Re-Nuble raises $1.1m seed funding https://agfundernews.com/food-waste-to-indoor-farming-input-re-nuble-raises-1-1m-seed-funding.html

Pina walks us through the cutting edge technology that converts food waste into industrial grade organic fertilizer for soil-less and vertical farms. The technology is carbon negative and has the potential to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 6-12,000 metric tons CO2e per year while increasing produce yields by 20% to 30%. The implications for urban agriculture are extraordinary, and offer an exciting growth opportunity for sustainable finance professionals. Check out her website for more information.

Tinia Pina is a fearless founder! Despite not being a scientist, when Tinia saw a lack of nutritional food options for kids combined with an awareness that New York City was spending around $33 million dollars each year to export its organic waste she felt the need to find an answer. The systemic issues in the United States - the large volumes of food waste generated and the affordability of organically grown produce needed to be addressed and what she came up with could provide one solution that would address both problems - an organic-based liquid soil and hydroponic nutrient created from organic-certified produce waste.

Tinia Pina, the Founder and CEO of Re-Nuble, talks with us about how to all that waste in a way that won't kill the planet. How much waste are we talking about? 12,000 tons of food waste is produced annually in New York City. That much food waste would take 800 fully loaded garbage trucks to remove. And the city of New York is spending $180 million a year to get rid of it.The numbers sound crazy when you first hear them.  New York City is spending $180 million annually to deal with food waste.  For a while, it was being loaded on barges and shipped off to China. Today, capacity is still an issue as NYC food waste is shipped off to neighboring states. There are commercial storage facilities to help out, but there's still a lot of food waste with nowhere to go. Tinia Pina thought there had to be a better way. Her startup Renuble has joined the list of innovators who are recycling food waste into organic compost, as a soil amendment.When you think of food waste, you might think of the scraps you scrape from your plate or the food that restaurants throw away but there is also food waste created when food is processed, even before it makes it onto your plate. Wholesale food distributors buy directly from farms and re-package food to sell to schools or restaurants, they often throw out the stuff that's less than perfect. Food waste is 75% liquid. A company called Industrial Organic can go to your processing facility, draw out the liquid, digest and sterilize the food waste, leaving you with organic fertilizer. In another approach, Misfit Juicery, based in DC, is sourcing food waste all the way from New York City and turning it into a cold pressed drink. In LA, Pulp Pantry is using the post-juice pulp from your favorite juice bar and turning it into fiber-rich granola.Soil is lost at a rate of 10 to 40 times as fast as it can replenish itself. Conventional farming is stripping soil of carbon and nutrients and 70% of the earth's topsoil is vanishing, because of erosion. To feed the world that soil has to be replaced, that's where fertilizer comes in. Jonathan Bloom wrote in American Wasteland that about 40% of the food we produce ends up being thrown away. The annual cost of that, he says, is $100 billion.Key TakeawaysBuy groceries according to your needs. Supermarkets buy produce based on projections. If you find that you're buying more than what you actually need and wasting about 20% of it, then that waste also is translated upstream to the supermarkets.Plants like good dirt.  Crops need organic fertilizer to thrive, instead of the chemical "junk food" they often receive with industrial farming. Turning food waste into nutrient-rich organic fertilizer helps solve the waste problem and also helps the plants that feed us.Listen to my conversation with Tinia Pina about how she is changing what happens to food waste and building a better story for food and the supply chain that feeds us all.Click the podcast player in the header to hear the whole episode, or in the interactive transcript below, click on any play button to hear that part of the conversation.Jonathan Bloom wrote in American Wasteland that about 40% of the food we produce ends up being thrown away.

Tinia has some suggestions for you in the podcast.I feel like this is my purpose and in addition to the experiences that I've had, it has supported my dedication to it. So I'm a huge environmentalist and just, kind of, as hard as agriculture can be, I really feel like this has kind of been just something that I'm here for and that's why I kind of remain dedicated to it. - 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.

Fertilizer from Food Waste   Tinia Pina is making fertilizer from food waste. How cool is that? During our interview, we learn that Tinia was volunteering in an inner city school located in what we call a food desert - an area where access to fresh food is either non existing or not affordable to the population.   She was helping students study for an examination and noticed that most had donuts for breakfast. While they started out the day with lots of energy, after a few hours, the students were unable to concentrate while she, fueled with a healthy breakfast, had no problem to keep going.   She also noticed that New York was producing huge amounts of food waste which had to be transported far to be disposed of. These were some of the experiences which gave Tina the idea to produce fertilizer from food waste and ideally help to grow fresh produce right in the areas where none was available.   Tinia Pina's Bio:   Tinia received her B.S. in Business Information Technology from Virginia Tech and has six years of experience in the financial services industry and five years as a business development professional in the sustainability industry.  Her experiences related to advocacy and community building through food waste management, food systems and sustainability have fueled her passion to increase our communities' resilience, prosperity, and knowledge to help us live more conscious lives. Tinia's pioneering business model has earned her a Huffington Post Millennial Impact Grant, the American Express Emerging Innovator award and a MillerCoors Urban Entrepreneur grant, among other honors.   Our interview   1:00  Introducing Tinia Pina and Re-Nuble 3:00  What is Hydroponics? 6:12 Different Hydroponic systems   NFT  short for Nutrient Film Technique Deep Water Pool Technique   7:00 Re-Nuble gives the same results as mineral fertilizers which is difficult if not impossible to achieve with other organic fertilizers.

Utilizing Food Waste for Urban Agriculture with Tinia Pina of Re-Nuble The United States has a shortage of people who want to work in agriculture. We’ve gone from most of the population to only one percent of people working in this industry. There are fewer people with farms and a lack of individuals who want to make long lasting and meaningful careers in agriculture. There is something we can do about attracting interest in farming, though, such as enticing professionals from other industries to pivot into urban agriculture, like our guest Tinia Pina did. Tinia worked in the financial sector until she learned about the problems that existed related to entrepreneurial opportunities in agriculture. Today she is the founder and CEO of Re-Nuble, a New York City company that converts food waste into organic fertilizer.  On today’s show, Tinia shares the story of how she established Re-Nuble, and shares her insights about food waste and what it’s like to be a minority entrepreneur in the agriculture industry.  “The lack of proper nutrition and fresh available food options impacts our future generations.” Tinia Pina This Week on The Future of Agriculture Podcast: Tinia talks about how teaching her students opened her eyes about food. We talk about the supply chain that supplies organic food scraps. She cites reasons why the company may not be using all the waste that is produced in the city. Tinia tells us who her typical customers are. She explains OMRI certification in relation to Re-Nuble. Tinia tells us about her transition from the financial world to a full-time career in agriculture. She shares her vision on the issue of food waste. She fills us in on what the urban agriculture/ag-tech scene is like in New York. Tinia tells us how she attracted her first customers. She shares her thoughts on competition. She discusses the disadvantages to being a minority in the agriculture sector.     Mentioned in the Show:   Eating Bugs with Robert Nathan Allen Organic Materials Review Institute Food-X Freight Farms Crop Box Growtainer The New American Dream: My Life As A Minority Startup Owner NYC Ag Collective     Contact Tinia Pina:   Re-Nuble Email: info@Re-Nuble.com     Share the Ag-Love!
