Gunter Pauli / Chido Govero - Denver 2009

Pulp to Protein: The Green Job Machine / Orphan Teaching Orphans We are witness to the demise of an economy built on what we did not have. Now we have an opportunity to evolve towards an economy based on what we have. In developing countries alone, where basic needs are unmet, the financial crisis has put 50 million people out of work. Based on more than 50 pioneering projects and inspired by research on the most innovative technologies, we can see a new economy emerging that brings us health and housing, water and food never imagined. / Orphaned at age seven, Govero had to beg for work to support her brother and grandmother. At age 12, she learned how to farm mushrooms, and later, she learned to propagate mushrooms in a lab. Equipped with this knowledge, Govero simplified mushroom farming for villagers in general, and girls at risk in particular. Hear the inspirational story of a young woman from Zimbabwe who overcame personal and cultural challenges and is now empowering others to do the same.
