As one of the food and agriculture movement\u2019s most dynamic conveners, we educate and collaborate with local partners to amplify on the ground solutions.<\/p>\n<p>Food Tank is for farmers and producers, policy makers and government leaders, researchers and scientists, academics and journalists, and the funding and donor communities to collaborate on providing solutions for today&#8217;s most pressing challenges. We bridge the domestic and the global to build agriculture and food systems that can sustain us now and in the future.<\/p>\n<p>We feature innovative ideas that are already working on the ground, in cities, in kitchens, in fields and in laboratories. These innovations need more attention, more research, and ultimately more funding to be replicated and scaled-up. And that is where we need you. We all need to work together to achieve this vision for a brighter future.<\/p>\n<p>At Food Tank, we believe that meaningful progress in food and agriculture requires dialogue across differences. Our events feature a wide range of speakers\u2014including farmers, scientists, policymakers, business leaders, and advocates\u2014whose perspectives may not always align with one another or with those of Food Tank\u2019s leadership.<\/p>\n<p>The inclusion of any speaker, organization, or company on our stage does not constitute an endorsement by Food Tank, its staff, or its partners. We intentionally bring together diverse voices, even when we disagree, because open and civil conversation is essential to building a more just, sustainable, and resilient food system for everyone.<\/p>\n<p>Food Tank was founded by Danielle Nierenberg and Bernard Pollack in January of 2013 in Chicago, Illinois.<\/p>\n<p>Food Tank is a registered 501(c)(3), and all donations are tax-deductible. Danielle Nierenberg has served as President since the organization began and Bernard Pollack is the Chair of the Board of Directors. The organization is headquartered in Baltimore, Maryland.[\/vc_column_text]<aside class=\"gap cf\" style=\"height:40px;\"><\/aside>[vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h4>Food Tank Team:<\/h4>\n<div class=\"tmm tmm_team tmm-full-pic\"><div class=\"tmm_3_columns tmm_wrap tmm_theme_f\"><span class=\"tmm_two_containers_tablet\"><\/span><div class=\"tmm_container tmm-equalizer\"><div class=\"tmm_member tmm_theme_f\" style=\"border-top:#f5f5f5 solid 5px;\"><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/foodtank.com\/danielle-nierenberg\/\" title=\"Danielle Nierenberg\"><div class=\"tmm_squared-borders tmm_no-borders  tmm_photo tmm_pic_team_0 lazyload\" style=\"background:inherit;
