4 The 2014 Challenge How do we feed 9+ billion people by 2050? TFF in a Nutshell Thought For Food (TFF) invites the world s brightest, most passionate students from top universities around the world to take the lead in solving one of the biggest challenges facing our future: how are we going to feed 9+ billion people by 2050? We are building an army of changemakers from all fields of study dedicated to making the world a better place. Together, we are scientists, designers, inventors, artists, farmers and foodies. We are digital media gurus and engineering wizards; doctors, politicians, business leaders, architects, social entrepreneurs and more. And we want YOU to join us! Julie Borlaug The Norman Borlaug Institute for International Agriculture Thought For Food is the best example I have seen for inspiring, educating and providing a platform for young leaders to get involved in feeding the world. Founded in 2011, TFF is a fast-growing community of 1,000+ brilliant students, ambassadors and mentors from 24 countries on 6 continents, crossfertilized by networks of thought leaders (Ashoka Changemakers), social entrepreneurs (Sandbox Network), and multinational experts (Syngenta). The annual TFF Challenge calls on university students from all fields of study to explore the complex challenges of food security, as they generate and prototype new projects that make a difference. The flagship TFF Summit serves as a launch pad for projects and relationships to take off. TFF 2014 promises to be a bigger, better and even more mind-blowing experience than ever before. Don t miss out! Jasper den Besten Professor in New Cultivation Systems HAS University, The Netherlands TFF aims to play a key role in resolving global food security challenges by tapping into the unique skills and talents of the Millennial generation, and by providing state of the art educational tools, mentorship, connections and seed funding. Thought For Food is a unique, challenging learning environment for my students. I will definitely encourage them to participate and support them! 03 Thought For Food Thought For Food 04
5 How would I describe TFF? Reverberating positivity, pulsating energy and truly authentic friends and supporters! Here s what we have in store for you! From September December 2014, you will have the opportunity to work in interdisciplinary teams of 3-5 students to design and develop a game-changing venture that presents an unexpected solution to our challenge question: How do we feed 9+ billion people by 2050? In December 2014, 10 teams will be selected as Finalists and awarded $500 in seed money to advance and prototype their projects. At our Summit, you ll meet new friends and supporters from our incredible global community of TFFers, you ll hear mind-expanding insights from our program of eminent speakers, and the Finalist teams will pitch their projects to the world, for the chance to win $10,000 in seed funding. You will have the time of your life! The TFF Challenge is definitely an experience you do not want to miss! Then, in February 2015, the 10 Finalist teams will attend a TFF Startup Boot Camp in Lisbon, Portugal led by Startup Pirates. Our epic TFF Global Summit will also take place in February 2015 in Lisbon. This memorable event provides a creative playground that fosters innovation and inspiration, and gives you the chance to shine.

6 Here s what you ll get by taking part: First-rate learning materials You will acquire expert knowledge on a broad range of food security topics and develop practical skills that will be essential to the TFF Challenge and put you ahead of the game for your future career. Resume-building skills This year, all participating teams have access to a custom Design Lab produced by renowned global experts in design thinking methodology. Every single participant who completes Round 1 of the 2014 TFF Challenge will earn a Design Thinking accreditation badge, which you can use on your resume, LinkedIn profile, etc. to showcase your mastery of this important skillset. All-star Mentorship You will work closely with world-class experts, innovators, and entrepreneurs from a wide variety of fields. These mentors include social media geniuses, business-savvy professionals, and activists dedicated to social change. What are we looking for? TFF is making the world a better place. And this is no easy task. As the Challenge runs its course, you will be encouraged to learn more, do more, and share your progress with others, every step of the way. Over an exciting and fast-paced few months, you will be diving head first into a new world, featuring Google Hangouts, creative brainstorming, social networking, design thinking, business plan building and much more.

The projects submitted to the TFF Challenge will be evaluated according to the following criteria: Innovation Engagement 4 5 Travel You will have the chance to win a trip to Lisbon, Portugal for the TFF Global Summit and take part in our awesome Startup Pirates bootcamp program. Funding You could win significant funding for your project, providing a springboard for your future. TFF commits to being at the cusp of new idea generation. You and your teammates will look to consolidate cutting-edge technologies and the latest resources to create a project that is fresh and exciting, in a way that has never been seen before. Sustainability Your project should ignite people s interests, explore original thought processes and question current approaches to food security. Your project should motivate people to take action, and become invested in your idea. Uniqueness 6 Recognition Student teams will have access to a state-of-the-art web platform and will also receive media coverage to generate world-wide attention for your work. Food security solutions require short, medium, and long-term goals that shouldn t end when the competition is over. Your project should serve as a catalyst for change, with serious scalability potential on a global level. You will be competing against some of the brightest minds out there. Your project should stand out among the wide array of proposals, providing game-changing solutions for a better future. It should embody a wow factor. 7 Authentic Connections You ll have the opportunity to collaborate and share your dreams and ideas with other students from all parts of the world who are just as passionate about being a force for global good. When you become a TFFer, you become part of a network of friends and supporters. From internships to potential employment opportunities, all the way to exposure to venture capitalist and startup companies, TFF is much more than a competition it s an accelerator for your future! 07 Thought For Food Thought For Food 08
7 Introducing: The TFF Design Lab What to expect The TFF Design Lab is a one-of-a-kind website with instructions, tools and resources that will coach your team throughout the Challenge. It was created by renowned global experts in design thinking methodology. The platform features eight different work modes: Explore, Define, Ideate, Conceptualize, Prototype, Test, Iterate and Pitch. Each work mode contains a number of fun, timed activities that you will carry out to create your entry to the Challenge, while learning about food security and design thinking. With the Design Lab, we invite you to learn and apply the design thinking approach to innovation. The design thinking concept combines learning about issues, needs and opportunities with generating and evaluating creative solutions. The structured yet open-ended connection of problem-oriented research and solution-oriented action is an exciting addition to the TFF Challenge. As a final outcome, your team will publish an engaging pitch that solves a specific food security challenge. With testing, feedback and improvement, the ideas and concepts evolving in the Design Lab will be forward-thinking, yet realistic. Additionally, connections will be established as teams reach out locally and globally to exemplify the entrepreneurial principle of less talk, more action. The Design Lab gives you a first-hand experience of design thinking, which boosts your creative confidence and skills and allows your team to acquire and develop unique theoretical and practical knowledge on your project. Richard Hylerstedt Expert in Design Thinking and Urban UX Design, creator of TFF Design Lab Hailing from Gothenburg, Sweden, Richard is a graduate of the HPI School of Design Thinking in Berlin, where he completed two levels of the school s design thinking program. Since graduating, he has supported the school s professional education branch as a workshop coach and carried out design and facilitation projects for clients across Europe, including his current gig running an experimental project in the Portuguese town of Amarante to explore how a design thinking mindset and methodology can be applied to local government. Richard holds two bachelor degrees from Lund University, one in strategic communication and one in Russian linguistics. To get the very most out of the Design Lab, we recommend that you plan to participate in two teamwork sessions of 3-4 hours per week over the course of two months. But, TFF is flexible! You can also focus on the work modes that are most relevant for what you bring to the TFF Challenge and thereby spend much less time. It s all up to you! 09 Thought For Food Thought For Food 10
8 Introducing: Startup Pirates Bootcamp What to expect We are excited to announce that the 10 Finalist Teams will receive an all-expense paid trip* to Lisbon, Portugal in February 2015, where they will participate in a three-day bootcamp, led by Startup Pirates. *Trip includes round-trip economy class plane ticket, accommodation and meals for days of the program Startup Pirates is a non-profit organization that enables aspiring entrepreneurs to get inside the startup world and learn how to develop and implement a business idea.

In almost 3 years, Startup Pirates has spread to over 17 countries in 4 continents, created more than 70 startups, enabled 100 new jobs and received extensive recognition from governments and the media. Why join the navy if you can be a Pirate? Inês Santos Silva Expert in entrepreneurship and education, Chief Pirate of Startup Pirates Born in Portugal, Inês Santos Silva is a dynamic young entrepreneur who has been globally recognized for her work as a startup accelerator and community builder. Her mantra is Disrupt or be disrupted! Despite her young age, she is the co-founder of multiple successful startup initiatives, including StartupX, Trojan Horse was a Unicorn, Startup Pirates, and Startup Tour. She is also an avid TEDx organizer, a Global Shapers Lisboa member and one of the youngest ever graduates of Singularity University. The Startup Pirates team has custom designed the Bootcamp experience for Thought For Food. You ll learn about tools like the Business Model Canvas and methodologies like Customer Development and Lean Startup. You ll gain invaluable practical experience that will help propel your future whatever path you eventually choose to take. This famous quote from Steve Jobs was the inspiration behind the Startup Pirates name. Like Pirates, starting something as a young person means sailing in the unknown seas and trying to do things differently. To successfully launch a company is one of the most difficult things one can do. It s demanding, stressful, and difficult and most of the time you ll feel distressed. Only someone who is fearless and willing to fight, hustle, and work really, really hard will be able to succeed. Startup Pirates aims to show young people that entrepreneurship is really possible and has the power to change people s lives and contribute to the growth of the economy. 11 Thought For Food Thought For Food 12
