Democratizing Agriculture for Global Food Security

On World Food Day, our club brought 25 students together at the Thunderbird School of Global Management to take on a single prompt. Over a month of research, four finalist teams turned policy ideas into workable solutions — now headed toward detailed reports and potential pilot programs with decision-makers in India.

Logistics & Storage
