About Jake Fairbanks Kelley

As a sustainability innovation and finance entrepreneur, I\'m the founder of Blue-Green Futures with 7+ years of experience developing media, policy, and business projects across multiple industries – such as AI, regenerative agriculture, water, carbon, circularity, renewable energy, health, and green buildings. This nexus is where we cultivate and evolve our security, stability, and human potential. That\'s where we will achieve better health, wealth, and equality. I bridge the gap between pioneering innovation and long-term systemic resilience by building strategic partnerships and financial vehicles that help new solutions scale and easily integrate into local contexts. By wearing many hats and managing complexity with ease, I leverage my ability to sense underlying motivations to help partners find common ground, build deep trust, and achieve lasting outcomes. With an International Relations master\'s from Leiden Universiteit, I specialized in the Global Political Economy, on advanced tech, efficient markets, and sustainable development. Adept at cross-sectoral collaboration and diplomacy, I consistently deliver results on scaling solutions and partnerships that equip businesses, communities, and movements with leading social, technological, and financial tools. Ask me how 4Terra\'s soil amendment and farming systems can help heal land and people – plus de-risk assets, adapt supply chains for resilience, and generate abundant regenerative food, profitability, water, and biodiversity. We transform degraded land into top-quality farms and forestry in one season – with at least 4x more productivity, 8x more beef, and 10x more carbon storage. Our plants and livestock have unrivaled immune systems, survival rates, and produce the most nutritious and delicious food. At Carbotura, we deliver zero-emissions circularity solutions that turn trash into cash and jobs via waste-to-manufacturing, including 16 valuable outputs, such as green hydrogen, graphene, graphite, rare earth minerals, and water. Working at the UN\'s (UNICRI) Centre for AI & Robotics, I advanced research, projects, and governance concentrated on the ethical, legal, social, and security implications of how advanced technologies like AI are utilized by criminals, terrorists, and law enforcement. Earlier, I followed my passion for education at Tufts University by aiding leadership on interdisciplinary strategic planning for \"One Health\" and \"One Earth\". I have media/marketing experiences at VICE Media, helping establish their new TV Channel,\"VICELAND\", and at Entercom Communications.
