“Get into the spirit of innovation in agriculture and present a poster pitching your own start-up idea. For inspiration, look to your own research: What’s important about it? How could it be monetized? Put on your entrepreneurial thinking cap and share your ideas!. Alternatively, present your research with a more traditional approach”.
