Thought For Food

Thought For Food is the world's next gen innovation engine for food and agriculture. We create, empower and support a new generation of leaders to solve our planet's most pressing challenge: How to sustainably feed 10 billion people? In 2011, Thought For Food launched the world's first innovation platform for food and agriculture. We spearheaded a comprehensive program to engage thousands of young people from all corners of the world to take on the challenge of feeding the world, and empower them to become entrepreneurs. Today, we worked with 15,000+ young leaders, catalyzed the creation of thousands of new ideas and launched the world's most game-changing social-impact startups. Most importantly, we built a unique culture driven forward by a highly-engaged global community that focuses on collaboration, diversity, creativity and fun to create transformational change. The TFF Community brings together scientists, poets, chefs, artists, social entrepreneurs, biohackers, and more. We are thrilled to see that the world has caught on to what we started - food and ag is now a hot innovation area, and there are plenty of competitions, accelerators, events and investments happening in this space. The topic of the next generation is also gaining traction, and we are thrilled to see leaders from our TFF Community scaling their ideas, gaining leadership roles in the industry and commanding stages the world over to share their perspectives. There is much more to be done. When we evaluate what the world needs and what we bring, we see our role in creating, empowering and supporting the next generation of innovators, meeting them at every stage of their journeys - from ideation through to investment. We are building our global footprint to equip young people everywhere at anytime with the mindset, values, approaches and connections they need to be successful changemakers - and support them to navigate the critical early stages of their professional lives.
