ABOUT THOMAS HAYES

I am driven by the need to securely feed ten billion people on our planet by 2050 - doing so safely, sustainably, healthfully, transparently, and deliciously. My mission is to support this need by functioning as a bridge between those developing cutting-edge technologies and those with scale. I am a firm believer that only by fostering relationships between these different stakeholders can we have a better planet by 2050 than we have today.
