So much incredible innovation happening in food and #agritech, but if communicated the wrong way - it can fall flat or scare people away! We’re not only talking about consumers, but farmers, government, investors, your friends, family and more.   With so many new words, technologies (#generativeAI) and potential concern for the future of farmers, this call to action for communications was echoed by an incredible panel of academics and startup founders I listened to recently.   This Agri-Tech meetup hosted by the So Cal Chapter of the Swiss-American Chamber of Commerce at the beautiful Cal Poly Pomona Agriscapes center, showcased the group’s exciting and promising innovations to scale. From startup - Hatchless producing all natural no-kill meat from only eggs, to better understanding your biological soil quality from Swiss-based startup - DigiT Soil.   Shout out to Mathias H., Markus Bohi and California State Polytechnic University-Pomona for hosting.   #marketing #pr #storytelling #agritech #foodtech #ai #artificialintelligence #foodinvestment #venturecapital #saccsocal
