Sustainable Food Pitch Competition for Students!

Aaron Brodkey is with Big Idea Ventures, a sustainable food venture capital firm. They're planning a food sustainability pitch competition called the Big Foodivate Challenge (BFC) this December to engage with and support North American college students thinking about solutions for Food Security and Food Self-Sufficiency.


He thought this opportunity would be perfect for sustainability students at NIU, and wanted to share the opportunity with students interested in sustainable food. Students who enter to pitch can win up to $7500 in cash prizes, mentorship opportunities, consultations from food industry experts, internship opportunities, and more!


You can check out the infosheet to see more details about the event, how to get involved, and a bit more about what they do. There is more information on the attached flyer as well.
