ALAMEDA, CA / ACCESSWIRE / September 18, 2023 / Terviva, an agriculture innovation company, is making its first appearance at Climate Week NYC, taking place from September 17 to 24, 2023. Terviva will be at the forefront of discussions and will showcase its pongamia-based solutions that help to reforest land and revitalize communities around the world.
Terviva's scheduled activities during Climate Week NYC 2023 include:
Emerson Collective Climate Science Fair at The Highline NYC:
Special Appearance at Emerson's Fireside Chat:
Panel Discussion at Cambridge Institute for Sustainability Leadership (CISL):
Naveen Sikka, Founder & CEO of Terviva, expressed enthusiasm for participating in Climate Week NYC, stating, 'At Terviva, we firmly believe in the power of nature-based solutions to help combat climate change. Climate Week NYC provides us with a unique platform to showcase the tangible solutions we are bringing to the world. Our mission is clear: to plant millions of trees to feed billions of people. By harnessing the potential of pongamia trees to create sustainable food ingredients and bioenergy, we are not only addressing the global food challenge but also actively contributing to climate change solutions.'
Terviva's pongamia trees are a vital part of the solution. Pongamia beans are rich in oil and protein and can produce three to five times higher yield per acre than soybean, all while sequestering up to 115 tons of carbon per acre over the course of its 30-year lifetime. This makes pongamia an ideal choice for sustainable agriculture. Terviva partners with farmers to grow pongamia on underutilized land, setting a new standard in agriculture and contributing to the revitalization of lands and communities.
Climate Week NYC, organized by the Climate Group in partnership with the United Nations and the City of New York, serves as a platform for global leaders to collaborate in addressing climate change. Terviva's participation underscores their commitment to creating a regenerative food system and revolutionizing the way the world produces food and bioenergy.
