Ayrton Cable (born 10 January 2003 in Nove Zamky, Slovakia) is a young social activist, who from a young age has been campaigning for a variety of social causes. Ayrton is mostly known for his activism on issues surrounding food and water security, and his campaigns to feed the world sustainably and alleviate poverty.
