F&I #86 with Theresa Imre (Co-Founder and Managing Director of markta)

‎

Under the motto “from farm to fork”, markta enables and empowers farmers to sell their products at fair prices, in a circular-economy-delivery model and last but not least, to connect with the final consumers. In her talk, Theresa will give insights into the development of our industrialized Agro-food system, as well as, her personal experience, founding and growing a holistic socio-ecologic enterprise in our mainstream economic start-up culture.
