After working for the Social Responsibility Department at Converse and changing to a vegan diet, Florencia Gallino started dreaming of how she could make a bigger impact on the planet. What started as an idea to start a vegan restaurant became a rooftop farming initiative that is now in Mexico City and Argentina. This became Sitopia, an urban farming initiative for educating people about sustainable urban farm systems.
