KFC Opens India Market. Kentucky Fried Chicken heads to India with a vegetarian menu and a new tag line … So veg, so good. “We recognized an opportunity to deliver a significant vegetarian range for the Indian consumer, and to reach out to a broader target audience.” – Dhruv Kaul, director of marketing at KFC India.
Henry Street Settlement Goes Urban Farming. The Henry Street Settlement was established in the 19th century to enrich the lives of the Lower Eastside (of New York) residents. A hydroponic greenhouse is being build on the roof of its 301 Henry Street building. The greenhouse will support job-training and education programs about sustainability. But the benefits don’t stop there. The hyper-local food produced will be used in the agency’s meal services.
