Tim co-created The Food Hackathon + Forum as a business plan competition and alternative educational experience to encourage entrepreneurs to work on more meaningful problems and to expose corporate teams to a more collaborative and inspiring working methodology. We had a great conversation about the future of food and how to get involved: How Tim became a chef His family's past food experience Definition of "Slow Food" What is wrong with food today? Tim's realization "that he can feed more people with a cell phone and a computer than a chef knife and a flame." True cost accounting How do we change the food system? What is a "hackathon" and why is it important?
