Refresh Working Group Launch

The Female Farmer Project is a new member of The Refresh Food and Tech Working Group. In the next year we will be working with farmers, small business owners, researchers, corporate partners, nonprofit leaders, educators, community organizers, and innovators working across the food system to explore—and hopefully finding consensus around—intersecting policy issues at the nexus of food and technology. Our role is to examine the intersection of technological innovation and the U.S. food system through research, storytelling, and collective action.

We recently met in Chicago for the introduction of the Refresh Report. From soil to supper, this report explores how technology, including AI and machine learning, could accelerate the creation of a more sustainable, scalable, and equitable food system. Read the report here.
