We will be holding the meeting in hybrid format from the CITP conference room, feel free to join us in person or in this zoom room.

This week, our theme is Food, Tech, and the Environment — We’ll be discussing the role of technology in the agriculture industry. Where is tech involved in getting food on our plates and how is it impacting our environment? Additionally, we will be hearing about a student-led initiative addressing food insecurity.

Here are some suggested readings to review prior to the discussion: Big Agriculture Companies are Killing the Planet
