Edward Silva

Edward Silva is executive director of Thought For Food and co-founder of Henlight – a solar-powered solution to help small-scale poultry farmers. His current work for TFF focuses on a reciprocal value proposition project, developing a handful of tools that allow the global community to engage with an ever-changing food/agriculture industry in a more effective way. His logic is that millennials will need to take on the leadership for our food system in the next few decades, and it is important for millennials to bring solutions for that system. When not leading Henlight or TFF, Silva also supports a research project at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory to commercialize an energy optimization technology, with an eye towards potential applications in food/agriculture.
