Marketwired
Greengro Technologies, Inc. (PINKSHEETS: GRNH), a national leader
in both indoor and outdoor aquaponic and hydroponic systems and
grow rooms, has named three new staff members. Serving on the
corporate advisory board are Rafael O. Quezada, aquaponics manager;
Stephanie Rudat, social media director; and Ned Madden, publicist
and marketing director.
"We wish to welcome Rafael, Stephanie and Ned to the Greengro
team," said James Haas, CEO of GreenGro Technologies. "They fit in
well with the company's philosophy of 'Three Pillars to Success' on
which we base our performance -- Social Media and Online
Activities, Sales Channel Development and Mergers and
Acquisitions."
Quezada, an aeroponics and aquaponics innovator, artist and
builder, will provide construction and technology expertise on
Greengro projects. Rudat, a professional Internet blogger and
activist, will oversee the corporate website and activities
involving social network communities like Facebook and Twitter.
Madden will provide writing services and work with business and
trade media editors and reporters.
Rafael O. Quezada
Quezada is founder and CEO of The Waters Wheel, a firm that
specializes in design and construction of certified-organic,
recirculating water farms (including aeroponic, hydroponic,
aquaponic, and aqua-bioponic systems). These systems use water in
place of soil (or soil developed from aquaculture and specialized
media). Besides accelerating growth of densely concentrated crops
and making better tasting produce, recirculating water agriculture
conserves as much as 95% of water needed to farm in soil. Quezada
is also principal design partner and licensee with ACS Design Build
Group (ACS-DBG), California State Licensed General Contractor, B-1
#766387. ACS-DBG will plan, design and manage development of
multiple projects for Greengro Technologies. The first
collaboration is scheduled to break ground August 8, 2013. A
recirculating water farm will be implemented for the new City of
Youth Charter School, located in the food desert of Los Angeles, on
land donated by New Hope Baptist Church, 5200 South Central Ave. A
new solar parking lot will provide off-grid power for all farming
operations. Greengro Technologies will provide money for startup
and will help equip the facilities with Greengro products. City of
Youth has plans to clone the project at multiple locations,
bringing fresh foods and a much needed agriculture economy to the
urban community. School curricula will be taught in and with
nature.
"Together, Rafael and Greengro Tech plan to farm inner cities,
where past attempts have failed to meet real needs, where nutrition
is lacking and poor health is the result," said Haas. "For projects
like City of Youth, our operating principle is, 'If you feed people
a fish, they will eat for a day. If you teach them how to grow
healthy produce and aquariums, a whole economy will generate from
their hands, empowered.'"
Stephanie Rudat
Stephanie Rudat is a social media professional and blogger for
the Huffington Post, which has characterized her as one of "11
Twitter Activists You Should Be Following." She is the co-founder
of Alliance for Youth Movements (AYM), a global network that
promotes innovative uses of technology to safeguard human rights,
promote good governance and foster civic empowerment. In 2011,
Stephanie launched (think) CONSORTIUM to empower influential
leaders and activists in technology, media, and the private and
public sectors to promote tolerance, strengthen networks, provide
trainings and develop partnerships. Among other projects, she is
currently active with A Human Right -- a San Francisco-based NGO
working on initiatives to connect people to the Internet.
Ned Madden
Ned Madden is a Controlled Environment Agriculture (CEA)
consultant and marketing professional. He is a contributing writer
for Produce Grower Magazine and also writes about urban agriculture
topics for ECT News Network. Ned has an extensive background as a
consultant, Internet entrepreneur, writer, editor, journalist and
publicist.
