Global Women Fresh – Venture Capital.

Global Women Fresh.

Their mission is to change the status quo and leverage the talent of Women in Produce to close the industry’s gender divide by inspiring, connecting and empowering women around the world. And their mission matters more than ever.

Today, women account for 80% of purchasing decisions, but only 20% of the voices guiding decisions in the boardroom. What’s more, is that by 2030 we’ll need the equivalent of two planets to feed a growing world population of 10 billion people – half of them female.

Our industry is being called upon to feed the world more humanely, sustainably and efficiently – and more female leadership is a critical part of the answer.

Beanstalk Global has partnered up with Global Women Fresh to create a unique monthly Broadcast interview series. This to further promote the great work they do, to gain them more members ongoing and additional corporate sponsorship as well as to assist them to make a long-term difference in the Global Fresh Produce sectors.

In the very successful “Coffee and Tea with Global Women Fresh” series, for September we are majoring on the Topic of Women and Venture Capital in the Ag Tech World with a number of key global experts. Our goal is to share some of the challenges that still women face in the VC world and the lack of investment around Women startups. Also, this is an opportunity to inspire and empower women around the world who may have a great business idea, but they are not quite sure how to get their business to the next level. 

Joining them for the October broadcast will be:
