people having access to fresh food is so important, not just in our country but globally. if cities had the facilities in place to grow their own produce, then that would be a game changer. not only could transportation of food be greatly decreased, but cities could start to learn how much food they really need and this might positively impact food waste too.<\/p>\n<p><em>(editor&#8217;s note: answers edited for grammar and spelling.)<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>hannah and oswin created a video that focused on their&nbsp;own innovation, which they call \u201cvertikale.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":9284,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[4902],"tags":[2558,3542,591,3764],"storyfest_categories":[],"class_list":["post-12807","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-colleges-education","tag-colleges-and-universities","tag-purdue-university","tag-storyfest","tag-storyfest-winner"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- this site is optimized with the yoast seo plugin v23.4 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>meet the storyfest finalists: hannah abell and oswin chackochan - planet forward<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"\/\/www.getitdoneaz.com\/story\/meet-the-storyfest-finalists-hannah-abell-and-oswin-chackochan\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_us\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"meet the storyfest finalists: hannah abell and oswin chackochan - planet forward\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"hannah and oswin created a video that focused on their&nbsp;own innovation, which they call \u201cvertikale.\u201d\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"\/\/www.getitdoneaz.com\/story\/meet-the-storyfest-finalists-hannah-abell-and-oswin-chackochan\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"planet forward\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:publisher\" content=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/planetforward.org\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2016-04-14t14:20:22+00:00\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"krista celentano\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:creator\" content=\"@planet_forward\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:site\" content=\"@planet_forward\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"written by\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"krista celentano\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:label2\" content=\"est. reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data2\" content=\"2 minutes\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"article\",\"@id\":\"\/\/www.getitdoneaz.com\/story\/meet-the-storyfest-finalists-hannah-abell-and-oswin-chackochan\/#article\",\"ispartof\":{\"@id\":\"\/\/www.getitdoneaz.com\/story\/meet-the-storyfest-finalists-hannah-abell-and-oswin-chackochan\/\"},\"author\":{\"name\":\"krista celentano\",\"@id\":\"\/\/www.getitdoneaz.com\/#\/schema\/person\/f653aed110d24983557eb8909a2017b5\"},\"headline\":\"meet the storyfest finalists: hannah abell and oswin chackochan\",\"datepublished\":\"2016-04-14t14:20:22+00:00\",\"datemodified\":\"2016-04-14t14:20:22+00:00\",\"mainentityofpage\":{\"@id\":\"\/\/www.getitdoneaz.com\/story\/meet-the-storyfest-finalists-hannah-abell-and-oswin-chackochan\/\"},\"wordcount\":488,\"commentcount\":0,\"publisher\":{\"@id\":\"\/\/www.getitdoneaz.com\/#organization\"},\"keywords\":[\"colleges and universities\",\"purdue university\",\"storyfest\",\"storyfest winner\"],\"articlesection\":[\"colleges &amp;
