Thanks to all participants, the WFP Innovation Accelerator, and our sponsors — the Australian Centre for International Agricultural Research, the International Development Research Centre of Canada, and the Foundation for Food and Agricultural Research in the United States — for making the Future of Food & Agriculture Workshop in Munich, Germany this week a success!
Participants provided feedback on the three grand challenges XPRIZE has identified in The Future of Food Impact Roadmap:
We heard from a panel of agricultural entrepreneurs in Africa and India. Our Chief Impact Officer, @ZeniaTata, gave a presentation on moonshot thinking. And teams designed their own prizes, from a circular economy XPRIZE to a competition to control our craving for unhealthy food.
We will share contents and takeaways from these various activities in the online community in the days and weeks to come, giving both the workshop participants and experts who did not attend a chance to continue the discussion.
We are also working to convert the "Pathways to Impact" session, for which we did not have time, into an online activity. Stay tuned!
Please feel free to say hello in this thread in order to connect with the other people who attended, and don't hesitate to message me if you have any questions about the community or need help.

It was really inspiring hearing all your wonderful ideas about how to bring forward a positive food future for our planet, farmers, and consumers everywhere!
Very excited to continue the conversation here and looking forward to the 'Impact Pathways' exercise.
for those of you in our global community, we're hoping to continue the discussions here and as Nick noted are planning to convert one of our planned workshop activities into something we can conduct here on our community platform.
given all the news lately, experimenting with how to conduct virtual workshops, activities, and discussions couldn't be more timely, so take a moment and dive into some of the other threads you see here in our food forum. thank you!
We're asking the online community to analyze the prize ideas you developed at the workshop from the perspective of six stakeholder groups:
When you put yourself in the shoes in one of these groups, how might your prize idea change? Are there things you would add, amplify, or modify?
