SmarTill
About Us
We are a trio of 10th graders, having collaborated on academic projects, school clubs, and played sports since middle school, came together. Living in northern California we have a priviledge exploring farms near by frequently. Recent state's water crisis sparked our curiosity about sustainable farming, leading to passionate debates and discussions. Our curiosity evolved into a passion. Save Soil global initiative provided much validation to our thought process and a dual purpose: recognizing business potential while contributing to a social cause. SmarTill is born.
