2013 Feeding The Planet Summit

We need game-changing innovations to move forward. GW's 2013 Feeding The Planet Summit brought together top CEOs and experts, leaders from NGOs and non-profits, students and celebrity chefs to identify and share real solutions. From local sourcing, to agriculture on a global scale, we saw major innovations in food, and discussed how they’re changing all of our lives. Relive the summit minute-to-minute or take a look at the highlights.
