SAVE THE DATE! The 2024 Cornell Food Hackathon

The world population is expected to exceed 9 billion by the middle of this century. Nearly a billion people around the world still suffer from hunger and poor nutrition. Major changes to food production, processing, and distribution systems are needed to ensure people everywhere have access to safe, sufficient, affordable, and nutritious food.

The transformation of global food systems will rely on the combined expertise, vision, experience, and commitment of researchers, educators, entrepreneurs, and consumers as well as industry practitioners working collectively to catalyze new ideas, drive innovation, and motivate change. Skills and knowledge from food scientists, nutritionists, engineers, social scientists, manufacturers, and more are needed to foster solution-oriented scientific discoveries to advance our transformative goals.

A hackathon acts as a catalyst to spur innovation, collaboration, and discovery through a highly facilitated event that enables students to design and prototype solutions.

Join over 150 fellow Cornell undergraduate and graduate students for this weekend's event and develop a broad range of ideas and skills as you address challenges in the hackathon’s focal areas in food innovation and sustainability.
