The first in our CBA AMA series. We discuss supply chains and food security, which are pressing topics globally, but especially so in emerging markets.

Emerge's award-winning use of blockchain, IoT, and artificial intelligence is fused with legacy systems and SMS text messaging to ensure even communities without consistent connectivity can benefit from the future of money and trade.  Varun Baker is the co-founder of the Slashroots Foundation and the CEO of Farm Credibly. Farm Credibly leverages blockchain technology to provide access to loans for unbanked farmers in Jamaica.
