<div>I once owned a decent-scale indoor farm in 2019 (picture shown) but it wasn't enough to sustain itself and my investor made false promises about scaling up. I learned a lot of hard lessons but most of all I still believe in the potential it had. I believe we can fundraise this instead of taking on debt or using investors. This was my original goal over 10 years ago.

</div>





<div>I studied agriculture (business, economics, and crop production) along with developing skills in programming. I spent several years working on organic farms and laboratory farms. I've been certified in food safety and know all of what it takes to open an indoor farm in an urban area. I was previously offered several opportunities for both partnership and employment as a head grower at some of the country's top indoor vertical farms, including Plenty Inc. I turned them all down to pursue my own.

</div>







<div><span>We need to work together to get the attention to it, then whatever we can do to donate/like/share - $1 minimum from 100,000 people would kick this off, I'd get the property and the equipment and build it all again, this time with a committed team instead of by myself. We'd build an indoor controlled environment aeroponic farm and establish a network of supportive restaurants to supply competitively priced and fresher produce. In Portland, this would be in extremely high demand.</span><br />

<div><b>Key Aspects of Austin Kasso's Work:</b>








</div>








<div><br />








</div>








<div><b>Urban Farming Pioneer:</b> Kasso is a pioneer in bringing urban farming to areas like West Lafayette, Indiana, establishing the first vertical aeroponic farm there. 








</div>








<div><br />








</div>








<div><b>Focus on Sustainability:</b> His initiatives promote sustainable living, environmental stewardship, and community health by providing local, fresh, and organic produce. 








</div>








<div><br />








</div>








<div><b>Community Engagement:</b> He is actively involved in building a network of like-minded individuals and businesses, fostering a passion for urban agriculture and healthy eating. 








</div>








<div><br />








</div>








<div><b>Advocacy and Education:</b> Kasso has been recognized for his contributions to environmentalism and is an active speaker and participant in discussions about sustainable living and food systems. 








</div>








<div><br />








</div>








<div><b> His Vision: </b>








</div>








<div>Kasso envisions expanding his single garden into a larger network of greenhouses, where average individuals can learn and become urban farmers. His goal is to provide the community with fresh, affordable, organic food and empower people to take part in a sustainable agricultural movement. <br />








</div>












<div><br />












</div>












<div>I'm also a creative programmer and am developing a Star Trek computer game that is interactive with TikTok Live, currently going live with it every night, showing off new features every week. My main income comes from being a delivery driver, for which I drive 15 hours a day, 7 days a week. <strong>I have more projects I want to work on as a programmer but time defeats me.</strong> <strong>I would also like to return to school and finish my degree in biology and neuroscience.</strong>









</div>









<div><strong><br /></strong>









</div>









<div><strong>I have a long history with contributing to society and doing awesome things, you can search google, "Who is Austin Kasso" to get a glimpse of it. I would like to rebuild, and be a champion for our cause. Let's show them who is in control.</strong>
