Almost two years ago, Gov. Phil Scott announced the Vermont Phosphorus Innovation Challenge (VPIC), describing it as "an X-Prize style competition" to find creative solutions to curbing the phosphorus problem in Vermont.

Kaitlin Hayes, agricultural water quality specialist at the state Agency of Agriculture, joined Vermont Edition to talk about the finalists and their projects.
