Report reveals innovative sustainable agriculture measures from tech startups
The program was designed to train and invest in food and agriculture startups that are expanding access to sustainable, healthy and accessible agricultural goods.
Village Capital, a Washington, D.C.-based manager of an agriculture accelerator program, and QBE North America, a New York-based integrated specialist insurer, released a report on entrepreneurs innovating around sustainable food and agriculture practices.
The report covers three areas of innovation—improving efficiency on farms through precision agriculture; reducing food waste; and meeting consumer demand for environmentally-friendly food. The report also contains three takeaways that speak to ongoing conversations about diversity in tech, Silicon Valley's "monoculture of thought" and a potential Green New Deal.
