To continue FAO’s drive for increased innovation and in support of next week’s International Day of Awareness of Food Loss and Waste, this month’s InnoVentures Lab will highlight how hackathons can spur innovation, with a focus on the Ayadee Foundation’s recent hackathon in support of reducing food loss and waste.  

FAO’s Chief Economist Maximo Torero will host a discussion with the Ayadee Foundation’s founder Peter Johnson; hackathon mentor and President of the Produce Alliance, Melissa Ackerman; and hackathon participant and co-founder of Homni Supply, John Poor.   A live Q&A session will follow the presentations.  

A webinar will be held  on 24 September from 1pm to 2PM CEST  with a special edition on "InnoVentures Lab – Hackathons: A Powerful Methodology to Drive Interdisciplinary Innovation"
