Farm2Food Accelerator – NASDA Foundation Senior Director Chris Jones

The VentureFuel Visionaries

On today’s show, we have Chris Jones, who is the Senior Director at NASDA (National Association of State Departments of Agriculture), where he runs the Farm2Food Accelerator, a 15-week training program built to empower and educate small-scale farmers and food entrepreneurs to become more resilient through food production. The program helps take current agricultural production or locally sourced production to develop a packaged, value-added food or beverage product. We talk about the value of innovation and entrepreneurship, the future of food and agriculture, and how the program will launch the next generation of businesses right from the farm.
