Can you share the origin story for FSRD, and discuss what problems it was created to solve?

Yeah, you're absolutely correct.

It was born out of this gap.

Um, when I started to get into international development work, I was put on a lot of sort of agribusiness projects, and I noticed in the food space that there was a lot of focus on agriculture and there was a lot of focus on nutrition, but there wasn't a lot of work being done in terms of processing, um, food processing.

And I thought, you know, food science could really elevate.

It was like, to me, the missing piece.

It could really elevate, um, those two things.

What have you observed?
