What we deliver
HVB talks are designed to convert curiosity into a next step: a partner lane, a pilot site proposal, or a funding pathway.
Keynote / conference talk
High-level systems story + concrete regional examples + “what to do next.”
Workshop
Hands-on: map a pilot pathway, stakeholder lanes, and the first proof artifact.
Municipal briefing
Clear options, constraints, and funding pathways—built for decision environments.
Core talk topics
Pick one, or ask for a custom blend. We’ll tune the talk to your audience and desired outcome.
1) The Hudson Valley circular organics system
What “closed-loop” actually means in practice: routing, constraints, incentives, and community trust.
2) From waste problem to energy + soil opportunity
Biogas, digestate, biochar, and the “benefits stack” — when it works, and when it doesn’t.
3) Pilot-ready project packaging
How to ship proof artifacts (one-pagers, FAQs, stakeholder lanes) that unlock funding and permitting.
4) Policy & funding pathways
How to think about incentives and grants without turning your initiative into a paperwork graveyard.
5) Environmental Justice realities
How to design projects that reduce burdens and build legitimacy—early and explicitly.
6) Invasive aquatic feedstocks
Why lake and river management can be part of circular systems—if designed responsibly.
