Hacking potato seed systems

How can Solynta make its True Potato Seeds available to developing countries in a socially and economically responsible way, in order to contribute to feeding the world’s growing and often malnourished population?

Good question. And the subject of a True Potato Seeds Hackathon today. The word has been out since July so I’m sure they’ll get a good turnout of clever students and get the problem licked once and for all. Looking forward to the hearing all about it. As no doubt is Solynta. And CIP.
