I work at MEDA, an international development organization focused on entrepreneurship within agri-food systems. Seeing as your\u00a0expertise is\u00a0within the Liu Institute for Global Issues,\u00a0I wanted to reach out to see if you had anyone in mind to apply to our Pitch Competition: Reimagining Food Systems!<\/p>\n
With over $15,000 available in prize money, as well as opportunities for promotion and mentorship, we\u2019re on the lookout for star applicants with a socially impactful idea centered around food and agri-food systems. Five finalists, selected by MEDA\u2019s market systems experts, will have the opportunity for an expense-paid trip to MEDA\u2019s annual convention in Atlanta, November 4-7, where they will pitch to attendees and a panel of judges.<\/p>\n
I also wanted to reach out to see if you had anyone in mind for Convention 2021. This is a great opportunity for any students and educational staff\/faculty to get connected with international development professionals, meet like-minded individuals, and build upon their professional experience.<\/p>\n
