Organic Confluences Summit | AgTech Series

Add to Calendar Thu, 10 Feb 2022 09:00:00 -0800 Thu, 10 Feb 2022 14:30:00 -0800 Organic Confluences Summit | AgTech Series

The Organic Center collaborated with the USDA ERS and GOAT on a virtual conference series and hackathon examining agricultural technology (AgTech) in organic.

The conferences examined potential opportunities for technology to support the organic sector, pitfalls when it comes to access and equity in AgTech, historical and current examples of AgTech exacerbating the pre-existing structures of racism in the food system, and methods for analyzing AgTech’s fit within organic ideals. The two conferences were complemented by a hackathon, in collaboration with the Gathering for Open Agricultural Technology
