Channel: Columbia Business School · 2014 · Nonprofits & Activism
Three food-entrepreneurs give small talks on their big ideas for solving the global food crisis. In our world of seven billion, one billion suffer from malnutrition, while another one billion suffer from over-nutrition. Although the world's farmers harvest enough to feed the planet, twenty-five percent of our global food supply is lost to spoilage. In addition, society has a growing concern about the environmental and social consequences of where our food comes from and how it gets to our plates. Each world-class speaker has 10 minutes to share their groundbreaking story and offer sustainable business solutions to the global food crisis. Speakers include Jacqueline Holmes of Kopali Organics; Christopher Lorn, Co-Founder of Table for Two USA; and Stephen Ritz, Founder of Green Bronx Machine.
