Food 4 Thought is the first-of-its-kind initiative bringing together students from global universities to envision the future of the food system. F4T 2024 is a 100% student-run festival that will take place on the historic campus of Harvard University. Over the course of two days, F4T will feature speakers, thought leaders, researchers, food vendors, and alternative protein companies from across Boston and around the world. The festival’s primary aim is simple: we want to assemble every future food innovator, visionary, and leader in one place. Through our three tracks—the research incubator, idea lab, and strategic workshops—we aim to build and invest in projects that have the power to radically transform our food system, through financial support, technical assistance, and connections to an extensive network of individuals working in the future food space. With our career networking and communication platform, we hope to establish long-lasting connections and growth potential between students and the plant-based and alternative protein industry.
