The NYC Agriculture Collective & Thought For Food Foundation Partner for NYC AgTech Week 2022

The NYC Agriculture Collective & Thought For Food Foundation join forces to launch the 7th Annual NYC AgTech Week and the First-Annual Generation Fest.

June 15 2022 – New York and Switzerland – NYC AgTech Week 2022 will take place September 26 to October 1st 2022 across New York City, bringing together a multidisciplinary, international audience for a week of virtual panels, in-person farm tours, and networking events across the five boroughs of NYC: showcasing the urban farming ecosystem and providing an equitable, insightful, and valuable look into the state of AgTech today. NYC AgTech Week is notable for being the only AgTech Conference that is produced and organized by the pioneers of the industry themselves.

This year, NYC AgTech Week’s unique hybrid programming will culminate on September 30th with the launch of the first-annual Generation Fest, presented by non-profit organization Thought For Food (TFF) and The NYC Agriculture Collective.

Generation Fest is a one-day summit that builds on TFF’s previous events that have taken place around the world in cities like Berlin, Amsterdam, Zurich, Lisbon, Rio de Janeiro, Dubai, and Rome.

Generation Fest will unite some of the world’s most visionary and cutting-edge innovators from the interconnected realms of entrepreneurship, science, technology, design, and creativity for a highly-experiential and immersive program focused on co-creating a more inclusive and abundant food future for all.

The NYC Agriculture Collective and Thought For Food Foundation are delighted to be producing NYC AgTech Week and Generation Fest in partnership with Climate Week NYC; highlighting the role agriculture and food equity play in building a sustainable climate future.

More details on the program and tickets will be announced soon.
