Boma is founded by Lara Stein, founder of TED's TEDx program.BackgroundAs the founder of TEDxManhattan "Changing the Way We Eat", Diane Hatz brought a new, global dimension to the U.S. food movement. TEDxManhattan, along with her nonprofit Change Food, worked to raise awareness and inspire change toward a healthier, more regenerative food system.In early 2020, Hatz and Stein reconnected to form Boma Grow USA, a connection, collaboration and event platform focused on regenerative food and farming for everyone. As the global pandemic continues, Hatz is re-envisioning the concept of an event and creating powerful new ways of connecting with others and creating change.Change Food is the nonprofit lead partner for Boma Grow USA. A portion of proceeds from Boma Grow USA will be donated to its work and its latest program "Plant Eat Share," an effort to plant fruits, vegetables, seeds, nuts and grains in public places for anyone to eat and share.
