W e strive to reach those interested in innovating in agriculture by serving as an application focused community organization, rather than industry focused organization. We provide a forum where people from fields and professions (e.g., software, engineering, materials science, etc) outside of the agricultural industry can connect with agricultural professionals and ag enthusiasts of all stripes (from Organic to Biotech and Vegan to Bovine) to collaborate within the agricultural vertical. We reach out to the NC tech, engineering, environmental, biotech, ag, and life science communities--from investors and students to veterans, farmers, professionals, and enthusiasts to encourage ag innovation.
