It’s official! Tech4Agri are media partners for the Thought for Food Sumit!

We are proud to have earned this opportunity to provide our social reporting service alongside some of the biggest names in food tech news.

Given our partnership we are excited to be the link to the caribbean youth who we strive to support!

As you know the challenge seeks to solve how do we feed 9 billion people by 2050 our projected population of the future. University students take on this task creating #whatsnext in food and agriculture. Their projects represent solutions to real problems facing commuities of every kind throughout the world.

Best of luck to the TFF finalist teams in their pitch! Some of these innovative projects include: a solar powered, floating greenhouse that desalinates ocean water for farm use, a bio particle that safely breaks down pesticide and a dried, fruit based nutrient-rich food which can be used in disaster relief situations and as a solid fuel source.

Clearly the future is ever present in great part to TFF and our community.

It does not stop there. Additionally particiants have access to masterclasses which are hands on, learn by doing workshops. As a participant myself I am keen to be a part of the Next Gen Assemblies – it’s all new!

“These are the TFF twist on the traditional break-out sessions you see at other conferences. The Next-Gen Assemblies have been specially designed to explore cutting-edge topics in food and agriculture using new types of approaches to maximize dialogue and solution development.”

Where else would you go to learn about gamified sustainability, experimental cities, circular economy and DIY innovation and so much more?!

Well you could probably learn those things online, especially as not everyone would be able to be physically be present.

That’s why Tech4Agri will be there live! We will be on twitter, instagram facebook and you can follow live streams . Follow the the hashtag #TFFsummit #TFFchallenge

And we happy to report that our partner Alpha Sennon of WHYFarm will be the closing speaking for the event. He’ll be tell you just exactly how we can beat the challenge #9bx2050. We’re bringing our region to the world!
