Testimonials
“I was blown away with “From Farms to Incubators” the documentary. It opened my mind to even greater possibilities and also taught me something I wasn’t aware of. There are women innovators and entrepreneurs in food and agriculture that are the driving force and changing face of agriculture, especially in California. This book will serve as inspiration for the countless minority women who seek to be heard in rural America and for the next generation of female leaders in agriculture.”
– Maria Palacio, founder of Revolution Me Film Festival.
“We were thrilled to present the world premiere for Amy Wu's documentary “FROM FARMS TO INCUBATORS” at the 23rd UNAFF (United Nations Association Film Festival) with the online panel discussion The Fight of Courageous Women. This outstanding documentary successfully engages the viewer to participate in a journey into the transformative power of women entrepreneurs dedicated to agtech, a fast-growing sector within agriculture. By juxtaposing our prejudices and our responsibility to a just society, while challenging our notions of ethics and women leadership, through this inspiring film the director and producer Amy Wu is offering us a mandatory educational tool for understanding a new generation of startups led by minority women seeking to solve agriculture's problems with tech innovation.”
– Jasmina Bojic, Founder and Festival Director, UNAFF (United Nations Association Film Festival)
