"To me, leadership is not only about setting a goal, formulating a plan, and executing with persistence, but also creating opportunities for a community of people."
Erica's project will incubate a business in India focused on the development of agricultural inputs that are both high yielding, yet environmentally sustainable. The prevailing view is that the two are mutually exclusive. However, by combining ancient practices with modern methods, there are early signs that enhancing yields, while ensuring long-term environmental sustainability, is possible. Erica's business will identify scalable solutions to this problem and bring them to market.
