YPARD Strong at #tffsummit!

And so it began! The build up to the #tffsummit at De Kromhoutal event space in Amsterdam, was unbelievable. Many, were in anticipation and then it took off to a great start!
YPARDIANS Everywhere! There were many of our members at the TFF all working in different roles for the event. Peru, Colombia, Indonesia, Trinidad & Tobago, Croatia, Nepal, the Netherlands- all represented!
Against the background of on precision agriculture, food producing architecture/agricultural systems and indoor growing, this year’s TFF summit also delved into the latest synthetic biology and other science-based innovations. The summit facilitated an exploration into #whatsnext in food and agriculture.
Some of the Country representatives attended the Thought for Food Summit. We each came on our own with individual responsibilities however together we are YPARD strong at one of the biggest food, agriculture and innovations events for youth in the world!
As the day quickly passed with all the mind blowing innovations on show, Tech4Agri  &  YPARD T&T team member, Christopher practice mobile journalism to assist with our social media work for the event.
Keron, T&T country rep for YPARD was fortunate to partner with the TFF to provide social reporting for the event.

Christopher even got a group selfie! What a hard worker!
Which event has a full on rave half way through 2 packed days of activity. The TFF movement knows how to work hard & play hard!
The winning idea came from Team Cultivando Futuro of an information and agro-commerce platform that leverages open data to analyse market trends and provide information to farmers and buyers highlights how much the agriyouth have to offer. Congratulations to Cultivando Futuro!!!
YPARD member Alpha Sennon did our network proud as the closing speaker for the entire event. It was a great honor and a moment to remember having worked so hard as agripreneurs! We captured this powerful team of Alpha & the world’s greatest superhero AgriMan.
