EvokeAG

Innovations in farming, resource management, and carbon-neutral practices are shaping the future of food.

But how is AG managed today, and what implications does it yield for planetary health equity?

EvokeAG is an annual event dedicated to agrifood innovation, Hothouse PhD. Roxana Claudia Tompea attended. Read the blog article here

This in turn jeopardizes livelihoods and cultural and spiritual connections to country.
