From Farms to Incubators
We are excited to spotlight the “Portraits” series by our friends at From Farms to Incubators, a media/events initiative that uses multimedia to celebrate women leaders, innovators, and entrepreneurs in the Agrifoodtech sector and to tell the stories of women in the fast-growing field of agtech.
Throughout the year we will highlight a sample of Portraits from the series.
