GTECH Strategies

While vacant land may be an eyesore to some, it’s also an opportunity to improve environmental stewardship.

That’s the idea behind GTECH Strategies, a social enterprise that remediates and revives neighborhood plots and industrial tracts. GTECH’s Bioenergy Gardens cultivate crops like sunflower and switchgrass to restore the land and produce feedstock for biofuels.

GTECH’s community-based model is an example of a larger, ongoing initiative with an innovative approach to improving biodiversity through sustainable development. Learn more at gtechstrategies.org.
