Announcing Second Annual ‘Internet Of Food’ Series

We are thrilled to announce the launch of our second annual Internet of Food Series. For the next month, we’re inviting entrepreneurs, investors and innovators across the food system to respond to the question: “How might we use technology, new business models and design to guarantee healthy, safe and sufficient food for everyone?

Hosted in partnership with Seeds&Chips, the largest international food tech conference happening in Milan this May, this series aims to create a platform for conversation for how we can use innovation to create a more sustainable, profitable and healthful food future. Each week, we’ll be sharing a couple of responses.
