Food + Tech Connect Hosts Farm Bill Hack This Saturday

| Tuesday, November 29th, 2011 | 4 Comments »

Danielle Gould and our friends over at Food + Tech Connect are hosting a Farm Bill Hack on Saturday in New York City.  From the website:

There is a lot of talk about the Farm Bill these days in part  because it was due to be revisited over the course of 2012, and then because cuts from it were entangled in the the Super Committee mess (which now officially failed).

Yet we also hear about the Farm Bill because, we are told, it affects what Americans eat more than any other piece of legislation.  But how exactly? What is in it and why should Americans care?

Thus far, there is little in the way of visually interesting and informative media about the Farm Bill. Which is why we are co-hosting the Farm Bill Hackathon on December 3, 2011 with Gojee.

To read the whole post about the hackathon, including the time, location, and mission, click here.  Grown in the City will be there participating in the event, and I hope to have some interviews with some of the participants.
