ELN Guatemala: Farm-to-Water
Responding to the Water-Energy-Food Nexus individual households, Yale CEA and Ecolibri are collaborating on the design of integrated plant wall infrastructures that simultaneously remediate indoor air, produce food, and filter water using agriculturally-sourced photosensitizers. Through these highly-adaptable novel systems, we can mitigate waterborne illness, eliminate harmful pathogens through on-site solar-powered chemistry, generate a full nutritional profile for families, and purify indoor air.
