Hereby your second serving of Tea with IE! This time we will go all the way to Latin America to learn many interesting stories from “the margin” and Chile with our guest and fellow Industrial Ecology student, Nico. Maurizia and David chat with him, touching on a variety of topics, going from regenerative agriculture, to entrepreneurship, to architecture, to pet food, and the role of science for innovative businesses. Find out what motivates and keeps Nico moving and involved in so many amazing projects, and also how impactful it can be to look at your pet’s environmental footprint (or rather pawprint!).
