With the help of livestream sponsor Zevia, we are able to share the sold-out Esca Bona conference on Oct. 17-18 with newhope.com readers.
We will connect trend-setting entrepreneurs, game-changing technologists and visionary business leaders from across the food supply chain to work together to magnify the positive innovations happening in food. Credible, influential voices from across disciplines and sectors touching the food supply chain will be included to focus, align and inspire leadership.
Join us as we dig deep into the issues facing our food system and get inspired by some of the leading renegades in this space. See the full schedule here.
