The Mixing Bowl Event Connects Technology, Food, and Ag Innovators

Food IT Fork-to-FarmFor the fourth consecutive year, The Mixing Bowl presents FOOD IT, under the theme “Fork to Farm.” Action-oriented entrepreneurs, industry players, investors, and representatives from leading global food and ag innovation hubs will gather at the event.
