GlobalSTL, an initiative of BioSTL, launched EAGIC (Early Adopter Grower Innovation Community). EAGIC provides a new pathway for scaling agtech innovation that is producer-centric, globally sourced and rigorously tested. We will be working with growers, researchers, extension, and industry to curate growers’ unmet needs and then, using GlobalSTL's global network of innovators, pilot solutions and transparently evaluate results with growers and researchers. It's getting me back directly with the growers and innovators and promises to address my goal of lifelong learning! Making connections with Midwest growers right now looking to join the EAGIC program. If you know a grower that is an early adopter and willing to share their needs and tinker with the proposed solutions, let me know.
