We’re proud to share that our researcher Dr. Lenon Modesto represented the Mi-Hy project last week at the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) in Rome, during the World Food Forum – Flagship Event between October 10th – 17th. The event marked a milestone of the FAO, it was its 80th anniversary, with the theme of “Hand in Hand for Better Foods and a Better Future” and FAO’s four betters: better production, better nutrition, a better environment, and a better life. This provided the perfect stage to showcase how Mi-Hy’s goals align with the global pursuit of a more sustainable food future.
Selected as one of only 9 youth researchers worldwide, Dr. Modesto presented Mi-Hy’s innovative approach in the panel “Youth-led science for better food futures.” His presentation highlighted Mi-Hy’s mission to integrate Microbial Fuel Cells (MFCs) with hydroponic systems, advancing sustainable food production, nutrient recovery, and bioelectricity generation.
The talk also introduced Spika, Mi-Hy’s first working prototype, which demonstrates how food, energy, and water systems can be connected through bioelectrochemical innovation.
Check out the video that was produced for the presentation in collaboration with Sony CSL.
