The Future Food Economy: May Meetup
Our topic for May is going to be the way to your heart - Food and Ag Tech. The way we make food impacts every aspect of all life on earth. There is a better way to produce food that restores our environment, increases water quality and availability, improves resilience, produces better food for more people around the world, reduces waste, and also increases profit for our farmers.
It sounds like a miracle solution because it can be. Let's figure out how.
Because the topic is so big, our programming is going to be bigger and better as well.
