AgriNovus Hosts AgTech Hackathon with Forbes Under 30 List
As the Covid-19 pandemic continues to shine a light on the importance of our food systems, we transformed our AgTech+ Summit into an interactive event—convening the Forbes community to address urgent challenges facing the global food system. This fall, three teams of Under 30 listers gathered virtually during three hackathons to brainstorm solutions across technology, agriculture, health and more – a collaboration between AgriNovus, The Indiana Economic Development Corporation and Forbes.

Technology such as blockchain, sensors, drones, AI, predictive analytics and more are transforming how farms operate and how the supply chain reacts. What emerging innovations can stabilize the system and ensure that excesses are redirected to underserved areas?
